Research
-
Medical and Biological Physics
A/Prof Kuncic leads a highly interdisciplinary research program at the interface between the physical and life sciences. Physics-based strategies (experimental as well as theoretical and computational modelling approaches) and fundamental physical principles are applied to advance our understanding of complex living systems and human diseases.
-
Astrophysics and Space Science
Astrophysical accretion (including radiation magnetohydrodynamics, MHD turbulence); High-energy astrophysics and relativistic jets (x-ray/gamma-ray emission mechanisms in white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes). Stochastic plasma waves in planetary bow shocks; Solar system radio bursts and space weather.
