This project is an interview-based educational examination of the experience of low-socioeconomic (low-SES), or low-income, students on an elite university campus including their self-perception, barriers and support. There is an opportunity for an intern to support ANU in collaborating with a small research team in analysing and understanding the experiences of these students to better support students from similar backgrounds.

In this project we are developing avenues to pave the way for solar powered enzymatic production of NH3 and H2. Through the project you will gain experience in electroenzymology and materials science as we seek to ‘industry proof’ nitrogenase.

Chemistry

Harnessing the bacterial enzyme nitrogenase for ammonia production in plants has been a longstanding goal of biotechnology. More recently, increasing environmental pollution associated with fertilizer production and usage, as well as food security concerns, have lent urgency to this aspiration. In this project you will work on assembling components of the nitrogenase enzyme complex in plants.

Accurate and consistent recording of health diagnoses is a basic building block for measuring disease prevalence and a prerequisite to using integrated administrative data for population health monitoring. This project will seek to develop a Dementia National Best Practice Data Set, as a foundation for quality, comparable and consistent data collection, analysis and reporting on dementia in Australia.

Sleep insufficiency is often associated with the life of a university student, yet it is well known that inadequate sleep can have a negative impact on physical and mental health and be detrimental to cognitive skills for learning. We would like to gather data on students at ANU in order to properly understand the situation, ensure students have an understanding of the issues, strategies and support options available to them and implement appropriate new programs or support mechanisms as required.
