澳洲大学有个Group of Eight (Twitter @Go8Aus),每个大学都有自己分管研究的副校长, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), 简称DVCR。下面列举现任八大的DVCR:
- The University of Sydney, Professor Duncan Ivison, 政治学教授,Twitter @Duncanivison。白人,男。
- UNSW, Professor Les Field, 化学系教授。白人,男。
- ANU, Professor Margaret Harding, 化学系教授。白人,女。
- Monash, Professor Pauline Nestor, 文学系教授。白人,男。
- Melbourne, Professor Jim McCluskey, 医学教授。白人,男。
- UQ, Professor Robyn Ward, 医学教授。白人,女。
- Adelaide, Professor Mike Brooks, 计算机科学教授。白人,男。
- University of Western Australia, Professor Robyn Owens, 数学系教授,Twitter @robynowens。白人,女。
虽然只是罗列,其实也有比较的作用。
My recommendation for the research students:
Wolfgang Pauli: "If god made the bulk, surfaces were invented by the devil."
We are using the Weierstrass-Mandelbrot function to generate virtual surface profiles. The following figures are the same surface (a self-affine surface), just using differnt resolution to reproduce plots. The important part about using such a fuction is that we can have an analytical form of the surface, including the possiblity to derive local curvature on the surface.

其实看到这样的统计,大概也知道写类似的课题申请,应该选择(或者避免)那些词语了。从下面的统计图表中,ARC和NHMRC项目选择使用的标题是如此的不同。两个澳洲政府的基金管理机构,ARC和NHMRC的区别,后者属于医学方面的应用。今年(2012-2013) 的年度总体预算为ARC 8.4亿澳元,NHMRC 7.7亿澳元。
今年由于澳洲政府财政原因,NHMRC项目已经公布结果,但是ARC的项目现在还没有消息。弄得我们这个小组(今年一共申请了四个ARC项目),都是比较焦虑地等待。主要是由于都是靠项目吃饭的研究人员,不像那些拿到教职的人们,有没有项目都不必如此在意了。
