Developing a computer system that is capable of playing GO at a professional level is one of the greatest challenges facing artificial intelligence research at the moment.
The design and operations of large-scale capability systems (e.g. health, urban planning, emergency management, defence force) constitute complex decision problems with high levels of uncertainty involving multiple, interdependent factors.
Analysis of bulk organic explosives is a straightforward task for well-equipped forensic laboratories, but it is more difficult for them to analyse trace amounts of organic explosive residues; this usually requires an elaborate sequence of solvent extraction from swabs and some form of chromatographic or electrophoretic separation.
The application of modern telecommunications networking protocols and inexpensive electronics has created a new paradigm for underwater (sub-sea) communications, with many potential military, scientific and commercial applications.
The mechanisms of aquatic animal swimming become a central issue for researchers and engineers who wish to develop underwater robotics with superior locomotion capability.
This project aims to realize exotic electronic phases (i.e. topological insulator) via nanopatterning of conventional semiconductors and atomically thin two dimensional materials.
The Asia Pacific Development and Security Research Group draws experts working on current significant socio-political changes affecting the Asia Pacific Region.
