Published 2026The desire to keep alive the memory of the past is deeply human and arguably universal. However, the set of claims the conservation movement has made about buildings as witnesses to time and repositories of memory are ...Open AccessThesis -
Designing for Casual Human-Robot Collaboration in Urban Public Spaces
Published 2026Robots are evolving beyond their traditional roles in controlled environments and are increasingly being deployed in dynamic public urban spaces (e.g., delivery robots). To ensure smooth deployment in these settings, robots ...Open AccessThesis -
Behavioral Dataset Compression for Efficient Reinforcement Learning
Published 2026Offline reinforcement learning (offline RL) provides a principled framework for learning decision-making policies from fixed datasets without environment interaction, enabling applications in safety-critical, privacy-sensitive, ...USyd AccessThesis -
Sonochemical Processing of Gallium-based Soft Composites
Published 2026Gallium-enabled soft materials have emerged as promising systems for flexible electronics and sustainable devices due to their metallic conductivity, low melting point, and deformability. This thesis investigates how ...USyd AccessThesis -
Mesoscale Modelling of Concrete Materials under Complex Loadings
Published 2026Concrete is a widely used construction material. In marine environments, its durability and mechanical performance are critical, especially regarding chloride-induced corrosion and structural behaviour under complex stresses. ...Open AccessThesis
