Investigating training population designs to enhance genomic prediction accuracy
Using genotype and phenotype data for flowering and branching traits, measure for a large Arabidopsis Nested Association Mapping experiment. Opportunities to jointly optimise training population designs and genomic prediction models will be investigated for the potential to enhance within and between cross genomic prediction accuracy.

Integrating external wall systems into the fire safety strategy
The goal of this project is to explore the framework of an explicitly defined fire safety strategy, and quantify the interaction between various components in a typical fire safety strategy and to develop methodologies by which the results from fire testing across scales can be used to inform the design of EWS to support a holistic fire safety strategy.
