About Acems

The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers (ACEMS) is a collaborative research Centre in applied and theoretical mathematics, statistics, mathematical physics and stochastic modelling. Spanning across seven of Australia's top universities, and collaborating with six industry partner organisations and a suite of affiliate members, ACEMS has brought together a critical mass of Australia's leading researchers in these areas.

Received to date

The Centre’s seven collaborating universities are: The University of Melbourne, Queensland University of Technology, The University of Adelaide, The University of Queensland, UNSW Sydney, the University of Technology Sydney, and Monash University.

The Centre’s Partner Organisations are: the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, AT&T Labs, CSIRO, Sax Institute, and VicRoads.

At ACEMS we work closely with government and industry collaborators in the domains of Healthy People, Sustainable Environments, and Prosperous Societies. Our researchers are bringing new insights to the way end-users make complex decisions by combining innovative methods for the analysis of data with theoretical, methodological and computational foundations, and through advanced mathematical and statistical modelling.

The Centre is developing the next generation of quantitative researchers integrating technical expertise, industry exposure, and high-level cross-disciplinary and scientific communication skills.

The synergy of the Centre’s compelling research programs – together with its strong collaborations, both domestically and internationally; its composition, management and governance arrangements; and research, training and translation strategy – mean that ACEMS will deliver real value for money as well as make a transformative contribution to Australian research in the mathematical sciences.
