LIVING WITH OUR STAR
EXPANDING THE CAPABILITIES OF NASA’S SOLAR DYNAMICS OBSERVATORY

The team devised a way for solar extreme UV telescopes to self-calibrate, improving our capability to monitor space weather. Furthermore, the team created a synthetic telescope to image the Sun’s corona. 

LIVING WITH OUR STAR
SUPER-RESOLUTION MAPS OF SOLAR MAGNETIC FIELD COVERING 40 YEARS OF SPACE WEATHER EVENTS

Used state of the art deep neural networks to calibrate and super-resolve historical maps of the solar magnetic field.

LIVING WITH OUR STAR
ENHANCES PREDICTABILITY OF GNSS DISTURBANCES

The team used a novel machine learning approach of bringing together auroral imagery and solar-magnetosphere-ionosphere observations to improve the predictability of GPS/GNSS signal disruptions.

THE MOON FOR GOOD
LUNAR RESOURCE MAPPING / SUPER RESOLUTION

The team produced a global data stack of lunar orbiter measurements by fusing 42 layers of multi-sensor satellite data

ASTRONAUT HEALTH
GENERATION OF SIMULATED BIOSENSOR DATA

The team used a novel GAN architecture to combine symptomatic Electrocardiograms (ECG) and healthy Astroskin wearable data to synthesise what a signal would look like for an astronaut with a heart condition.

DISASTER PREVENTION
DISASTER PREVENTION, PROGRESS AND RESPONSE - FLOODS

The team developed a generalised model for predicting the likelihood of a flood event (and moment of peak flood height) after a known rainfall.
