Went to two research related events today. The first was a workshop/info session about ALTC grants over at Kelvin Grove Campus. I got some interesting ideas about selecting good collaborators which I think will strengthen our FaST applications in the upcoming rounds.
This afternoon I went to the first "TEMPO" meeting. TEMPO is a group headed by Chris Langton from Physics and John Frazer from BEE which is basically a group/club where people who work in modelling, simulating, describing etc spatially and/or temporally varying stuff. This was great - some really exciting researchers there from all over the place: BEE, FaST, CI...very interesting. John Frazer uses CA and genetic algorithms to essentially design buildings from what I understand. There were other folk there from Airports of the Future project (where Charisse is doing her PhD) too.
John and I will be starting a Complex Systems seminar and discussion series soon (around December). I think Simon Kaplan (Exec Dean - FaST) is to be the first speaker...to be confirmed. Stay tuned if you are interested.
