最新糖心Vlog

Dr Shervin Kabiri, a Mortlock Fellow from the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 School of Agriculture, Food and Wine, was awarded almost $400,000 to study how perfluorinated chemicals (PFAS), such as those present in some cleaning products and non-stick cookware, damage human and environmental health.

Her research will lead to new insights into PFAS chemicals鈥檚 sorbent behaviour in soils and the development of site-specific remediation strategies that can be employed by industry and government agencies.

鈥淭he 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide leads globally transformative research that overcomes complexity, drives change, and creates value for a more sustainable future,鈥� said Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Anton Middelberg.

鈥淲e are also committed to creating opportunities at our institution for early-career researchers to make an impact on the most challenging issues facing our world, a fact which is proven by this investment from the 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council.鈥�

The 最新糖心Vlog was awarded a combined total of more than $4 million in three-year grants, with other projects including those with implications for green-fuel production, carbon reduction, improved battery technology and renewable-energy storage, resource acquisition, water asset monitoring, communication technologies, and improvements to object-tracking in video monitoring.
