Ahlam Rayan M Alharbi	Professor Gunther Andersson & Professor Ingo Koeper	Exploring Structural Characteristics of Tethered Bilayer Lipid Membranes (tBLMs) and Carboxylic Terminated Self Assembled Monolayers (SAMs)	Tethered bilayer lipid membranes (tBLMs) are widely recognized as excellent models for biological membranes, and they have been utilized to examine many membrane related processes and features. They have technological applications and are a useful tool for biophysical studies of membrane proteins. While structural details of tBLMs have been explored, for further applications, an in depth characterization of their molecular structures would be very useful. However, most high resolution techniques require vacuum environments, while membranes typically only exist in aqueous media. This thesis made first steps towards developing and characterizing procedures to employ vacuum based techniques for the analysis of membrane samples.
Tirad Sulaiman R Alsharari	Associate Professor John Costi & Javad Tavakoli & Dr Rami Al-Dirini	Effects of Needle Injuries and Simulated Repetitive Lifting on Lumbar Spinal Segments Mechanics and Annulus Fibrosus Structure	Back disorders, such as low back pain, pose significant health and economic challenges, exacerbated by repetitive lifting. This research investigates how repetitive lifting and clinical interventions, such as disc needle punctures, affect disc mechanics and structure, thereby addressing a knowledge gap and offering insights into spinal health. Effects were discovered when examining the mechanical response of spinal segments to simulated repetitive lifting, revealing that repetitive lifting causes permanent biomechanical changes in flexion, characterised by decreased stiffness and increased viscoelasticity. When needle injuries were introduced alongside repetitive lifting, a compensatory disc response was induced, demonstrating disc resilience. Additionally, the structural analysis of the research identified a new form of needle injury manifestation in the disc. These findings could shape safety guidelines for workers engaged in repetitive lifting. Additionally, examining the interplay with disc needle injuries establishes a basis for future research aimed at developing diagnosis and treatment methods for disc problem.
Joel Evans Brame	Associate Professor Martin Breed & Professor Catherine Abbott & Dr Craig Liddicoat & P Weinstein	Breathing in Health: Assessing the potential of outdoor environments to transfer health promoting butyrate producing bacteria to people	Butyrate producing bacteria ferment organic matter into butyrate, a short chain fatty acid that has important roles in human health and soils. Human gut bacterial assemblages include butyrate producing bacteria that require anoxic gut conditions. However, many physical and mental health conditions have been linked with a reduction in colonic butyrate producing bacteria. Outdoor greenspaces may be rich reservoirs of butyrate producing bacteria that could transfer to humans and supplement their abundances. Yet, outdoor butyrate producer abundances and their associated ecological characteristics remain poorly resolved. In this thesis, I identify and describe (a) the abundances of butyrate producing bacteria in outdoor environments, particularly urban greenspaces, (b) the ecological conditions that associate with their abundances, and (c) the effects of passive outdoor greenspace exposures on human nasal microbiomes. My findings provide opportunities for landscape designers, urban planners, ecologists, and public health experts to work together on new ways to support human health via urban greenspaces.
Anggelia Essi Christian	Professor Ingo Koeper & Professor Paul Kirkbride	Tracing Microplastics at the Wastewater Treatment Plant: Development of Methods for Recovery, Enumeration, and Identification	This thesis explores microplastics contamination in wastewater treatment plants, focusing on recovery, enumeration, and identification techniques. In collaboration with South Australia (SA) Water, the research aims to monitor and mitigate microplastic pollution, recognizing wastewater plants as key pathways for environmental entry. The study identifies the need for standardized analytical methods and proposes semi automatic mapping using FTIR Microspectroscopy for particles above 25 µm and Flow Cytometry for those below 25 µm. Results show significant seasonal and treatment related variations in microplastic concentrations and compositions. Recommendations include refining analytical methods and exploring treatment effects on microplastic morphology. This research enhances understanding of microplastic contamination dynamics, aiding in developing effective mitigation strategies to protect ecosystems and human health.
Purnima Das	Professor John Roddick & Professor Trish Williams & Dr Mehwish Nasim	Medical Knowledge Discovery with Effective Data Mining Techniques	This research aims to enhance the accuracy and usability of artificial intelligence based health and medical knowledge discovery. Focusing on improving association rule mining algorithms, it addresses challenges in extracting valuable insights from vast and noisy healthcare datasets to improve disease diagnosis and risk prediction accuracy. Existing techniques often lack automation and rely on subjective thresholds, leading to reduced accuracy. This study proposes algorithms to address these limitations, achieving efficient knowledge extraction from diverse datasets and enhancing healthcare practitioners' understanding of individuals' health conditions. The findings contribute to the advancement of healthcare practices by enabling more effective interventions, personalised treatment plans, and decision support systems. Additionally, the exploration of hybrid optimisation algorithms shows promise in further enhancing prediction models, ultimately leading to better healthcare decision making and patient outcomes. Overall, this work offers valuable advancements in data mining for healthcare, facilitating improved knowledge discovery and ultimately enhancing healthcare practices and individual well being.
Joshua Donovan Dennis	Professor Charlie Huveneers & Associate Professor Guido Parra Vergara & Dr Lauren Meyer	Beyond Jaws: exploring the unseen influence of white shark cage‑diving on silver trevally (Pseudocaranx georgianus)	Wildlife tourism often uses food based attractants to aggregate focal animals, unintentionally attracting and feeding non focal species, the impact of which is poorly understood. Yet the focus of management strategies, policies, and research remains on the focal species, often overlooking consequences and impacts on non focal species. This research investigated the impacts of wildlife tourism on silver trevally, a non focal species attracted by bait and berley used by white shark cage diving operators in South Australia. Findings revealed effects on the movement, behaviour, and growth of silver trevally, with no broader impacts on health, physiology, natural movements and behaviours.This is the first comprehensive assessment of wildlife tourism's impact on a non focal species, providing a baseline for the impacts of food based attractants on non focal species. Overall, this research demonstrates that small and non focal species can be affected by wildlife tourism, highlighting the need for a holistic ecosystem approach to wildlife research and management.
Bradley James Donnelly	Professor Youhong Tang & Professor Sammut Karl	The Development, Manufacture and Evaluation of Novel Antifouling Coatings for Acoustic Applications	Fouling is the process by which unwanted growth accumulates on surfaces submerged within marine environments. By delaying or slowing this process Antifouling coatings extend the life vessel and equipment that are subject to this fouling. This research investigated the effect that both fouling and the coatings to protect from fouling, have on the acoustic properties of surfaces they are adhered to. It was found that there is fouling has a much greater impact than the antifouling coating. With this knowledge a novel antifouling coating was designed for acoustic applications and manufactured using Polyurethane and Copper microspheres. These coatings exhibited antifouling properties and desirable acoustic transmission. This thesis serves as a promising starting point for the further development of antifouling acoustic surfaces
Sunita Gautam Adhikari	Professor Gunther Andersson & Professor David Lewis	Unravelling the Secrets of Ageing in Dye‑Sensitised Solar cells	Dye sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) are amongst the third generation solar cells. For using these solar cells in technical applications, it is required to enhance their lifetime through understanding their ageing mechanisms. The interfaces formed by the components constituting DSSCs are most crucial for their functioning. However, it is difficult to access the interfaces once a DSSC is put into operation mode and thus difficult to understand the aging mechanisms. Sunita has developed a new method in her research to access the interfaces and determine how the process of accessing influence the interfaces as such. With this knowledge and by applying several specialised interface analytical methods Sunita was able to determine a yet unknown ageing mechanism in DSSCs. Under operation conditions the regenerative electrolyte facilitating the charge transport over the interfaces loses its function and increasingly blocks the regeneration process opening the door for improving the structure of DCCs.
Gihan Yasith Indunil Ranga Gunasekara	Professor Trish Williams & Professor Giselle Rampersad	A Proactive Defence Framework for Internet of Things (IoT) Network Security for Digital Health	This research developed a framework for the Proactive Defence of Internet of Things (IoT) networks, specifically for using IoT Technologies in Digital Health. This research provides a proactive, comprehensive security framework to provide end to end security for IoT networks in digital health systems. It is technology agnostic and vendor neutral. This framework caters to the constant evolution of security issues and prevents the rise of actual incidents. This research is significant as it uses a proactive approach of pre identifying security risks and addressing them before they can become incidents, being in front of attacks to minimise them, and increasing the level of protection of digital health systems. As this artifact was developed as a framework rather than a model, any modifications, including adding new security elements or excluding existing security elements, can be accommodated to meet future requirements.

Emma Joo Kuhn	Professor Kirstin Ross, Associate Professor Harriet Whiley, Associate Professor Stewart Walker, Dr Jackie Wright	A Public Health Perspective on the Recovery and Remediation of Methamphetamine Contaminated Surfaces	Contamination from the manufacture or smoking of methamphetamine is a public health concern due to residues that remain on walls and furnishings. Residents living in contaminated homes experience adverse health effects from Thirdhand Exposure to Methamphetamine (THEM). Furthermore, the methamphetamine testing and decontamination industry currently have no regulation, accredited training or standardised methods. This thesis includes five papers that were published during the PhD, between 2020 and 2024. Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed, including laboratory experimentation, environmental sampling, surveys and interviews. Chapters covered perspectives from local government Environmental Health Officers and decontamination industry members. The spatial distribution of methamphetamine on house walls and the efficacy of common testing methods were investigated. This research gained important insights into existing practices used by industry members, and how EHOs manage contaminated properties within their municipal areas. Findings provide a better understanding of this public health issue and will inform industry practice.
Rupert Mathwin	Professor Corey Bradshaw & Dr Jeanne Young	Modelling a threatened species (Litoria raniformis) to guide conservation.	Amphibians (frogs, salamanders and caecilians) are the most endangered group of animals on the planet. Currently 2 in every 5 species are threatened with extinction, and these figures are getting worse. To address this global crisis on a local scale, a range of modelling approaches were combined to support the conservation and recovery of the southern bell frog (Litoria raniformis). A diverse range of experts from across Australia were worked with to identify the main cause of the decline and the best approaches to return them to their former range.
Phoebe Louise Mcinerney	Associate Professor Trevor Worthy & Professor Mike Lee	An interdisciplinary approach to the ecology, morphology, and evolutionary relationships of Genyornis newtoni (Aves, Dromornithidae)	This thesis encompassed a multi methodological approach to addressing questions on the evolution and extinction of a group of unique giant birds, the Dromornithidae (Drom or ni thi dee). These birds have long piqued the interest of many people globally, considering their large body sizes, unusual morphologies, and difficult to determine relationships to other groups of birds, yet deficiencies in knowledge persisted. Using novel technologies and methods which provided opportunities for expanding the available data for these birds, Phoebe aimed to address such deficiencies on the Dromornithidae and answer questions in a broader evolutionary context such as the underlying effects of changes in climate on widespread disease in a population of this group. Ultimately, this thesis greatly advanced the knowledge on this unique group of birds as well as the larger evolutionary trends associated with several major avian lineages.
Troy Konrad Miller	Dr Sunita Ramesh & Associate Professor Peter Anderson & Emeritus Professor David Day	Novel Insights into the Nitrogen Assimilation Pathways in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) Nodules	To meet the increasing demands of the global population, agricultural productivity must advance, particularly in the application of fertilisers which supply plants with nitrogen, crucial for effective plant growth. Legume plants like chickpea possess a unique ability to access atmospheric nitrogen through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria known as rhizobia, negating the need for fertiliser application. This thesis focused on understanding the specific nitrogen molecules produced in chickpea and the genes responsible for their transport within the plant. Several key genes were identified, suggesting potential targets for genetic modification to enhance nitrogen movement and potentially increase crop yield without relying heavily on fertilisers. This enhancement can improve the amount of nitrogen deposited in the soil reducing the application of fertilisers required for the next grown crop. This research highlights the potential for sustainable agricultural practices by harnessing the natural abilities to obtain nitrogen in legume crops like chickpea.
Daniela Mini	Professor Mark Taylor & Professor Karen Reynolds	Computationally efficient assessment of bone strain for a proximal humeral fracture with a fracture fixation plate	Fracture fixation plates are often used for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures, but unfortunately they have a high risk of failure. In this thesis, a method that combines Finite Element (FE) analysis with Deep Learning (DL) techniques was developed to create a more efficient computational approach for studying the biomechanics of fracture fixation devices. The methodology includes a semi automated pipeline for generating FE analyses with varying parameters and training DL models to predict bone strain. The DL models showed high accuracy and significantly reduced computational time compared to FE analyses. This approach has been shown to be time efficient without sacrificing accuracy and has the potential to enhance surgical planning for individual patients, resulting in improved medical outcomes. The use of DL algorithms in FE setups could improve the evaluation of medical device performance and contribute to the advancement of medical procedures.
Peter John Reeve	Professor Howard Fallowfield & Dr John Hutson & Associate Professor Ilka Wallis & Dr Michael Taylor	The removal of chemicals of concern by aquifer filtration in managed aquifer recharge schemes	Managed aquifer recharge (MAR), where water is stored underground in aquifers for later reuse, has the potential to play a significant role in enhancing the sustainability of scarce water resources globally. This thesis set out with the aim to help concerned water resource managers, who are increasingly detecting chemicals of concern (CoCs) in the water used to feed their water recycling schemes. The key aims of this thesis were to investigate how biofilm presence and absence effects CoC transport and groundwater geochemistry, and to utilise and evaluate state of the art experimental approaches, which enable the investigation of CoC bioattenuation. A significant new dataset was generated, and an improved understanding of CoC transport under MAR relevant conditions has resulted. The results from this thesis contribute important new understanding to how biofilm presence and absence affects CoC transport, and will enable the better management of the public health and environmental risks posed by CoCs.
Lida Shams	Professor Giselle Rampersad & Associate Professor Niranjan Bidargaddi & Professor Sarah Wendt	Digital Health for Substance Use Disorder Treatment: Technology Acceptance by Drug and Alcohol Clinicians.	This study investigates the adoption of digital health tools by Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) clinicians in Australia, focusing on Substance Use Disorders (SUDs). Employing a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling, it aims to identify the motivations, barriers, and facilitators influencing the utilization of these technologies in SUD treatment. The research develops a theoretical model for effective digital health tool adoption, emphasizing the importance of ethical considerations, clinician self-efficacy, and client equity and access. It highlights how digital health interventions, when designed and implemented considering psycho-socio-technical factors, can be integrated into existing social and healthcare systems, enhancing treatment accessibility, efficacy, and equity. The study offers practical strategies for the immediate application of digital health interventions and underscores the role of collaborative efforts in maximizing the potential of digital technologies to improve SUD treatment outcomes.
Maoge Zang	Dr Bart Eijkelkamp & Professor Melissa Brown	The Acinetobacter baumannii lipid landscape and its impact on antimicrobial resistance	The bacterial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is a global threat to public health due to its remarkable ability to survive under antimicrobial assault, rendering clinical treatment extremely difficult. As such, there is an urgent requirement to research for alternative treatment strategies. The work explored the therapeutic potential of the host dietary fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) against A. baumannii and its antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. To gain a better understanding of how this pathogen may adapt to the complex host lipid environment, the research examined the A. baumannii lipid homeostasis mechanisms. Further, through a dietary intervention murine model, the influence of dietary DHA and other host fatty acids upon A. baumannii were investigated. Findings in this work provided original contribution that strengthened the understanding of bacterial lipid homeostasis. Importantly, the work demonstrated the beneficial impact of DHA upon antibiotic efficacy against A. baumannii and outcomes of pathogenic infection.

After completing a four-year traineeship in the Haigh’s factory learning every aspect of the production process, Alister went on to become Company Secretary, Factory Manager and then General Manager of the Haigh’s Group in 1984. Six years later, Alister was appointed Joint Managing Director with his brother Simon and in 1995 became Chief Executive. Since then, Haigh’s Chocolates has more than trebled in size and now has a network of 21 retail stores across Adelaide (8), Melbourne (6), Sydney (6) and Canberra (1), plus its online store. Under Alister’s leadership, in late 2023, Haigh’s unveiled plans for its upcoming $130 million Salisbury South manufacturing facility. This development is the single largest infrastructure investment in the history of Haigh’s as they prepare for further expansion and growth. It will see their current chocolate production capacity double, allowing them to meet increased demand and leverage interstate growth opportunities, including entering new markets. The state-of-the-art facility is planned to be fully operational in the second half of 2025, accommodating up to 400 employees over the course of the growth phase, including the creation of approximately 150 new jobs. Alister has been leading the company in his role as Chief Executive for nearly thirty years, growing the family business substantially. Haigh’s now employs more than 900 people and currently produces over 1,000 tonnes of chocolate annually, used across their two existing manufacturing sites in Mile End and Parkside which is also home to their head office, artisan chocolate production and Visitor Centre. Haigh’s Chocolates is serious about its responsibilities for sustainable farming. Eighty percent of the cocoa beans they source from around the world come from Rainforest Alliance certified farms and their aim is to achieve buying 100 percent certified cocoa beans within the next two-to-three years. Since 2011, Haigh’s have been supporting Variety, the Children’s Charity of South Australia, with part proceeds from the sale of their Large Milk Chocolate Heart being contributed to the not-for-profit organisation. Alister is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a committee member of the Australian Industry Group (SA Branch). He was previously on the board of Service Skills SA representing the retail industry. In 2018, Alister was awarded life membership of Family Business Australia (SA), having served for more than 20 years as a committee member and on the national board. Earlier this year Alister received the prestigious Alfred Stauder Award for Excellence from the Australian Industry Group, for his outstanding contribution to the confectionery sector in Australia. Alister is a longstanding supporter of various charities, including of course Variety SA. He also enjoys spending time with his family, snow skiing, fishing and riding his motorcycles. Mr Haigh is a richly deserving recipient of the award of Doctor of the University honoris causa in recognition of his outstanding leadership and innovation at the helm of the South Australian family owned and run business, Haigh’s Chocolates.
