    5. Computational chemistry for sustainability with Dr. Martina Lessio

    Martina Lessio, Scientia Lecturer in the School of Chemistry at UNSW Sydney, and her team are researching the best uses for minerals for purifying water, how we can use carbon dioxide and plastic waste for energy storage, and how we can preserve valuable marble artworks from water damage. How does she do so many things at once? Join this conversation with Martina to find out how high-performance computing makes all this possible.

    3. Studying millions of objects in the universe with Dr. Brad Tucker

    Are we close to answering the biggest questions of the universe? Join Dr. Brad Tucker, Astronomer from the Mount Stromlo Observatory at The Australian National University, in this new episode of Science Bytes to learn about how supercomputing and big data are accelerating the processes of astronomy. In his daily work, Brad studies dark matter and supernovas, putting humanity closer to solving research questions that we previously thought would be impossible to answer.
