UNSW Faculty of Science

[2] The present faculty structure represents the outcome of two major and several minor UNSW restructures since 1997, with the primary aim of operational simplification and administrative efficiency.

][citation needed] The Faculty consists of eight Schools: Within the School of Physics, the Centre for Quantum Computer Technology has three major research laboratories at the University of New South Wales: the Atomic Fabrication Facility (AFF), the National Magnet Laboratory (NML) and the Semiconductor Nanofabrication Facility (SNF).

[20] It is also associated with national Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs) in Environmental Biotechnology; Vision; Spatial Information Systems; and Bushfire.

[citation needed] It is also part of Australian Research Council Centres of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Modelling of Complex Systems; Quantum Computer Technology (CQCT); Design in Light Metals; and Functional Nanomaterials.

[8][better source needed] The faculty has field research stations at Cowan, Smiths Lake, Wellington, and Fowlers Gap.

Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre (MWAC)[21] designed by Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp,[22] the goal of which is to co-locate major research instrumentation in a single, purpose-built, high-grade facility for the university.

Their focus is undertaking basic and applied research in the development and application of bioinformatics for genomics and proteomics.

researchers are in the process of utilising these techniques to identify novel methylated residues in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae interactome.

The Systems Biology Initiative is utilising the technique of blue native continuous elution electrophoresis (BN-CEE).
