December 2012 - GRDC Scholarship Success

Congratulations to PBRC PhD Students Kylie Foster and Josh Chopin who were each awarded a Grains Industry Research Scholarship from the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC). These awards include a tax-free PhD top-up scholarship of $18,500 per annum and a $10,000 per annum project fund. Kylie's PhD project involves the mathematical modelling of salt and water uptake and transport in plants for improved understanding of plant salinity tolerance, and Josh's PhD project involves the mathematical and computational analysis of plant images and 3D reconstruction of plant shapes for application to plant phenotyping. Earlier this year, PBRC Honours student Marcela Cespedes was also successful in obtaining a Grains Industry Undergraduate Honours Scholarship.

December 2012 - Best Paper Award

PBRC researchers Dr Hamid Laga and Professor Stan Miklavcic, along with their collaborators, were awarded the best paper award at the recent Digital Image Computing: Techniques and Applications (DICTA 2012) conference. Their paper was entitled "A Riemannian elastic metric for shape-based plant leaf classification".
