"Fractals in rate-induced tipping", new pre-print with Jason Qianchuan Wang and Yi Zheng.
We show how fractal saddles in the phase space of non-linear dynamical systems lead to fractals in the parameter space controlling rate-induced tipping points.

This chart shows the growth of Australia’s international science collaborations (measured by the number of co-authored publications) with various countries and regions from 2005 to 2024.
This is an important first step. Association with Horizon Europe would scale & diversify Australia international scientific collaborations
We’ve long advocated for Association to Horizon Europe, recognising it would mitigate geopolitical risks & deliver economic & scientific benefits to Australia.
"Inference of epidemic networks: the effect of different data types" , new pre-print with Oscar Fajardo and Carl Suster. We introduce a model+MCMC to sample transmission trees based on different types of data on sampled hosts.

Meanwhile, Australia still leaves in limbo many incoming students (holding PhD offers and funding!) for months on end, esp. from Iran. Waiting a year, two, with no updates — unnecessary and cruel.
