Campanology
by Dr Matthew Sorell
Abstract:
If you look out across the Adelaide Oval, you will see the spires of St Peter’s Cathedral, home to the heaviest octave of change-ringing bells outside of the British Isles. The music is unique to England and its colonies, based on continuous cycling of permutations following similar rules to the Rubik’s Cube, alphabetical sorting and cryptography. Change-ringing, or Anglo-Campanology, has its roots in the 11th Century and its mathematical formulation was documented centuries before pure mathematicians came up with their own version, known as Combinatorial Group Theory.
This talk will introduce you to the change-ringing bells of Adelaide, and provide you with an insight into the sport, music, mathematics and engineering of this obsessive hobby.

Photonics - New Applications of Optical Fibres
by Professor Tanya Monro, Chair of Photonics , and Director of the DSTO Centre of Expertise in Photonics within the School of Chemistry & Physics at the University of Adelaide
Abstract:
New classes of optical fibres are rapidly emerging that allow fibres to be used well beyond their established role in data transmission. These developments have been enabled by research in a diverse range of areas including physics, materials science, engineering and fluid mechanics. An overview of the newly established Centre of Expertise in Photonics will be presented, and recent progress in a range of areas including new transmission fibres, highly nonlinear fibres, chemical and biological sensing with new fibres and novel fibre lasers will be reviewed.
A short tour of the laboratories will be given.
