Our research program is situated at the intersection of popular, professional and academic histories. It includes collaborative research and commissioned projects that cluster around five research 'nodes':

• Design + History: looks at the past, present and future of design, material culture and cultural history
• History of Work & Technology: uncovering digital methods and platforms for historical engagement
• Historical Culture and Creative Histories: examines the creative tensions, possibilities and limitations of history-making outside the academy
• Histories of Knowledge and Education:  the Histories of Knowledge and Education node explores education, institutions, and learning across the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences
• Law and History

ACPH research attracts a wide range of funding, including ARC Future Fellowships, ARC Discovery, the Libraries Association of Australia and the NSW Heritage Office. The Centre is also the home of the refereed electronic journal Public History Review and a partner in the landmark Dictionary of Sydney.

Through discovery and applied research, the Australian Institute for Microbiology and Infection (AIMI) seeks to build a better understanding of how microbes grow, live, adapt and survive in all environments and as part of complex, interconnected systems. Developing a better understanding of infectious diseases in humans, animals and the environment.

We are uniquely focused on deciphering interlinked human, animal, plant and environmental problems in microbiology, infection and disease. Our research spans antibiotic resistance, food safety, computational biology, genomics and proteomics, microbial ecology and microbial morphology.

Our mission is to use pioneering science to reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by infectious diseases.AIMI brings together an international group of globally prominent scientists and early career researchers from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds.

Located in Sydney, AIMI is the only research institute of its kind in Australia, and, as part of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), places our researchers at the forefront of translational science with opportunities to develop and apply cutting-edge technologies to improve global health.

The team at the Australian Stuttering Research Centre conducts world-class research and provides specialist treatment services. They are a unique organisation where speech pathologists and clinical psychologists work together to improve the health and quality of life of those who stutter, and their families, globally. They conduct research to help understand the nature of stuttering and to develop new treatments for it.

Their most exciting research venture, with multi-million dollar funding from the Australian Government, is to establish the world’s first internet-based stuttering clinic. This development is intended to allow children and adults anywhere in the world, who have internet access, to receive effective treatment for stuttering without cost and without having to see a speech pathologist or a clinical psychologist.

In addition to their cutting-edge research, they provide clinical services to those who stutter and offer workforce training to speech pathologists in Australia and internationally. 

Research training is essential to the future of treatment and research for the disorder of stuttering, and they are proud of their postgraduate research training degrees. They have graduates throughout Australia and around the world who have received their doctorates as students with them. Their research training environment for such students is a dynamic and diverse learning experience, covering areas of speech pathology, clinical psychology, linguistics, education, epidemiology, biostatistics, medical imaging, information technology, and qualitative research methods.

UTS Business School consists of five academic disciplines –accounting, economics, finance, management and marketing. We are internationally recognised for our innovative research, with our academics taking a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach – bringing together skills and knowledge from diverse fields – to tackle the critical problems faced by businesses and other public and private organisations today.

Our research efforts are focused on developing knowledge that is not just characterised by scholarly excellence but also contributes more broadly to address the grand challenges of our time, such as inequality, climate, disaster, and populist extremism. 

We work closely and collaboratively with businesses, policymakers and public institutions to produce socially responsible and economically fair outcomes, and use education and research as a pathway to individual mobility, social diversity and economic equality.

We develop and apply innovative information technologies related research, focusing on Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), Sensor, Visualisation, and Numerical Modelling in Earth Observation, Disaster Management, and Earth Resources Management.

In the Centre for Forensic Science (CFS), we share the vision that crime reduction, crime solving and national security in general are important for society and that there are great benefits for Australia in modern and validated scientific techniques, processes and policies for the prevention and investigation of crime and terrorism.

We have established and maintained a high profile both nationally and internationally, and are recognised as the premier academic institution offering forensic science activities in Australia through both the quality of our teaching programs and the depth and breadth of forensic-related research that undertake.

We train, educate and research at the intersection of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), information technology (IT), law and social sciences to address questions that are fundamental to the concept of national security and public safety, including: intelligence, law enforcement and justice, technology, mobility and transnational crime including terrorism and trafficking are challenging many aspects of society and have impacts on security, economy and policy. We aim to contribute to addressing this global challenge by fostering new ways of thinking that underpin knowledge, discovery and innovation.

By applying forensic science as the holistic study of traces (remnants of activity and/or presence), we can understand - and then impact on - crime and security at large.

A growing global population, the emergence of new energy-intensive industries and increases in environmental pollution are all contributing to human-induced climate change and leading towards an energy crisis.

Part of the solution to this energy crisis is the rapid adoption of green technology whether it be for transport, environmental remediation or energy production.

The Centre for Green Technology was established to develop novel technologies for future clean fuels, vehicle emissions measurement, and environmental decontamination.

The Centre's published works include reports on Gen AI and Journalism, regional news media, digital platform regulation, and regulatory frameworks and business models to sustain public interest journalism.

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) Sydney Office is also based within the Centre for Media Transition.

We investigate learning technologies, and the role of technology and data in learning, developing methods to evaluate this impact. We explore the dynamic relationship between technology and learning - across formal, informal, and professional education contexts throughout the lifespan - reflecting that how we learn (with technology) is fundamentally intertwined with what we learn (about technology). 

Our research interrogates the new ways in which technologies enhance learning, and the changing learning needs of a digital society.
