Door to the Unknown, Monolith
No full textNorma Redpath was a student at Swinburne during the 1940s and had hoped to sculpt a major bronze piece for Swinburne’s Advanced Technologies Centre, but sadly was unable to do so before passing away in 2013. With the assistance of family and donors, an unfinished piece by Ms Redpath commenced in 1982, Door to the Unknown, Monolith, was fabricated for Swinburne’s Advanced Manufacturing and Design Centre. Throughout her career, Ms Redpath lived and worked in Australia and Italy, leaving a legacy of works such as the Treasury Fountain, Canberra and the Victorian Coat of Arms, commissioned for the National Gallery of Victoria. In 1970, Norma Redpath received an Order of the British Empire for her services to Australian art and sculpture, which was also recognised by Swinburne in 2006 when she was awarded an honorary doctorate. This photograph appeared in the Media Centre release, 'Norma Redpath’s final sculpture calls Swinburne home', on 1 Jul 2015

Invisible forces
No full textThis image originally appeared in the 2015 Research student photography and image competition held to celebrate National Science Week (Aug 15-23). Blurb: The ‘Invisible Forces’ image is taken from one of my simulation results on recycled waste granular materials which are viable to reuse in pavement and road construction. The Invisible Forces demonstrates stress and force distribution in micro-scale during loading, which is impossible to view in the conventional geotechnical laboratory tests. It also depicts how technology and programming can incredibly support researchers to fully understand scientific problems. Discrete element method is used to create this image, which is the most sophisticated and comprehensive method so far to predict material responses in particle-scale. In conclusion, the Invisible Forces represents how invisible stress concentration, which governs the material behaviour, can be tangible and visible by using numerical modelling and simulations

New beginnings
No full textThis image originally appeared in the 2015 Research student photography and image competition held to celebrate National Science Week (Aug 15-23). Blurb: The image is of farmers who I interviewed for my PhD research in Shepparton, Goulburn Valley, Victoria. These farmers are integral to putting food on our plates. They weather all the seasons as well as the financial markets. My research explores ways design can develop local resilient food systems, in particular with a focus on case study research from Shepparton, Melbourne and Dandenong in Victoria. Food production in Shepparton depends on SPC, the Shepparton Preserving Company and a former farmers' collective, but now a subsidiary of a multinational, industrial food processing corporation. SPC imports a lot of cheap fruit from overseas to process and is now buying less produce from local farmers. In my research the design-led Shepparton Food Hub project is analysed to draw on the significant body of research examining ways to decentralize and localize food supply chains as well as the evidence of successful design strategies used in other entrepreneurial projects
Hold me tight

Blurb: Moments of closeness and connection are fundamental to human life. In my research, when I asked people to talk about important moments in their group therapy experience they often chose tender moments when they felt close to other person, or cared for by another person, or accepted and valued by another person in the group. It seems obvious at face value that human beings would value this. But what was significant in my findings was that these experiences were also associated with subjective insights, and in particular with positive shifts in beliefs about the self. People experienced themselves differently in these special moments of connection. They saw that they were valued by others in the group, and these experiences helped to reorganise their internal models of the self in a positive way. The implication of this is that relational experiences are central to the group therapeutic process, and fundamental to advancing the goals of the therapy. CBT treatments, which tend to focus on an individual's thoughts, may therefore be enhanced by bringing a stronger focus onto the relational aspects of the therapy
Old made new again

Blurb: This photo shows the bottom part of the Molonglo radio telescope near Canberra. It is the largest steerable telescope in the Southern hemisphere and will turn 50 years old later this year. The red part is one of the main gears that are responsible for the North-South movement of the telescope. I am helping refurbish it in order to observe pulsars, which are rapidly rotating and highly magnetized neutron stars in order to understand their structure and the properties of ultra-dense matter through the monitoring of glitches in their otherwise very stable rotation. It will also help us determine the origin of the mysterious fast radio bursts
