Following evaluation of 690 applications, the ARC has announced 100 Future Fellowships in its 2020 round with a total of $97.8 million of funds allocated.
22 applications from the aggregated Mathematics / Physics / Chemistry / Earth Sciences disciplines were approved, with funding of $18.9 million.
Four 2020 Future Fellows in the mathematical sciences were announced.
Dr Michael Wheeler (Research focus: Solvability and universality in stochastic processes [$816,204.00]) and Dr David Ridout (Logarithmic conformal field theory and the 4D/2D correspondence [$909,109.00]) are both from the University of Melbourne.
The Australian National University’s Dr Po-Lam Yung (Problems in harmonic analysis: decoupling and Bourgain-Brezis inequalities) received $887,202.00, and Associate Professor Peter Kim from the University of Sydney (Mathematical modelling unravels the impact of social dynamics on evolution) received a discipline-leading $1,028,533.00 of funding.
The advanced manufacturing sector received the largest allocation, with 20 percent of applications being approved for a total of $16.4 million in funding.
By institution, the big winners are Monash University ($13.9 million), the University of Melbourne ($10.1 million) the University of Queensland ($10.1 million) and the University of New South Wales ($9.5 million), with the Universities of New England and the Sunshine Coast being the most successful in percentage terms with 33.3 percent of applications approved.
