It costs a lot to get material to the Moon. Can available materials on the Moon's surface be used? 

Generally chemical propulsion is used to launch satellites from the moon. Is it possible to use available resources instead?

Can electrical launch systems replace chemical systems in launching nano-satellites from the Moon?

Investigate the properties of exotic nuclei and their impact on fundamental models and creation of the elements when stars explode. 

There is no lunar GPS so how will satellite orbits be determined for safety and efficiency in designing missions.

Thrusters for propulsion generally require nozzles but is this necessary in the vaccum of space?

Active plasma thrusters are needs for in orbit manouvers and for arranging constellations of satellites. 

Modelling space radiation environments to inform ground-based radiation testing at the Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF).

This is a multi-faceted project which can be adapted to students at the honours level and above. A number of possibilities exist to perform experiments directed towards improving the use of positrons in medice, mostly focussed on Positron Emission Tomography (PET).

This project will use nuclear reactions to study the basic make-up of atomic nuclei at the quantum level, and investigate the impact of nuclear structure on sub-atomic forces and fundamental physics.

Use ultra-fast gamma-ray detectors to perform excited-state lifetime measurements and investigate single-particle and collective features of atomic nuclei.

Characterisation and optimisation of ionization detector system for probing dissipation effects in multi-nucleon transfer reactions

Use ultra-fast gamma-ray detectors to perform excited-state lifetime measurements and investigate single-particle and collective features of atomic nuclei. 

Nuclear metastable states, known colloquially as isomers, have energy densities millions of times greater than chemical batteries. This project investigates nuclear pathways for reliably extracting this energy from candidate isotopes on demand.

The discovery of new elements is of fundamental importance in progressing our society – new elements have contributed human history toward an affluent society. This project aims at proposing the best way to create new superheavy elements based on our studies, and at creating new superheavy elements with the best way.
