I would also like to draw your attention to the University services which provide valuable assistance to students in more personal areas — the University Health Service, Student Services and the Careers and Appointments Service. If you encounter a problem of a personal nature, you are welcome to discuss it with me or with one of the Associate Deans; in either case it is advisable to make an appointment at the Faculty Office. I wish you every success in your studies. On behalf of the Faculty of Science, I extend a warm Helen Beh welcome to all students, particularly those joining us Acting Dean this year. We hope that your stay at the University will be both enjoyable and productive. The Faculty has now been in existence for over a hundred years. Its graduates have achieved considerable distinction in many fields and many of them currently occupy important positions in public life, both in Australia and abroad. Many of its departments are held in high regard internationally for their research activities. Because of its size and its extensive links with other faculties in the University, the Faculty of Science is able to offer a great variety of courses catering for students with a wide range of interests and abilities. Many course combinations provide the preparation required for professional careers in one of the various science disciplines, including the medical sciences and pharmacy, or for further studies at postgraduate level. Other combinations give a broad general background in science and are excellent training for many careers in both the public and private sectors. Some courses-are offered at two levels and many others contain advanced level options. The Talented Student Program in the Bachelor of Science degree offers considerable flexibility and challenges for the most able students. This handbook gives general information about all of the courses available, the departments which provide them and the various regulations which govern progress towards your degree. You can obtain more detailed information about individual courses from the printed material distributed by the relevant departments. Staff from these departments are prepared to discuss various course options with you. The Faculty Office also has staff available to discuss FACULTY Professional Officers John T.

Truong was supported by providing John Makepeace Bennett Gift Scholarship through the Australian Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology (AINST) and administered by the University of Sydney Nano Institute. ABSTRACT Many outstanding studies have reported promising results in seizure forecasting, one of the most challenging predictive data analysis problems. This is mainly because electroencephalogram (EEG) bio-signal intensity is very small, in µV range, and there are significant sensing difficulties given physiolog- ical and non-physiological artifacts.

I currently work as a postdoctoral researcher in the Quantum Theory Group at the University of Sydney and regularly collaborate with researchers throughout Australia and worldwide. My research focuses on quantum error correction (QEC) and fault-tolerant quantum computation. My recent papers [1-5] identify and exploit previously unknown symmetries of surface codes with experimentally prevalent noise models to achieve exceptionally high thresholds and low logical failure rates. This work is supported by a research-grade Python library that I developed to complete QEC simulations on National Computing Infrastructure HPC facilities. I have also had a highly successful career in software engineering, culminating in 5 years working for CERN providing computing support to the LHC experiments. This has provided me with strong technical skills and more than 12 years of professional experience fulfilling the roles of developer, architect and team leader.

ALEJANDRO GONZÁLEZ VÁZQUEZ Director Prof. Dr. JUAN JOSÉ IGARTUA PEROSANZ Salamanca, 2019 A mi madre, por regalarme la música y la educación. Agradecimientos Hace tiempo tuve la casualidad de cruzarme con un pequeño comic de autor anónimo. En él, un niño con cara compungida y mirada triste aparecía a lo largo de varias viñetas siendo reprendido en el colegio, acosado por sus compañeros e ignorado por sus padres. Pero, en la última de ellas, aquel niño sonreía por fin, sentado ante un monitor en el que podía leerse “¡Has ganado, eres el mejor!” mientras aún sostenía el mando de una videoconsola entre sus manos. En primer lugar, querría que mis primeras palabras de agradecimiento fuesen dirigidas tanto hacia los videojuegos como a aquellas personas que los hacen posibles, en recuerdo de todas esas veces en las que sentarse delante de una pantalla ha sido el último refugio. Porque los videojuegos son mucho más que un entretenimiento a través del arte audiovisual. Son una manera de entender el mundo, de asomarse a miles de realidades y transitar infinitas vidas diferentes, una experiencia solo comprensible para quienes hemos crecido inmersos en sus universos de fantasía. En gran parte, ha sido mi pasión por ellos la que me ha llevado hasta aquí, embarcándome en el duro reto de realizar un doctorado centrado en su estudio.

HANS CHARLES FREEMAN 1929-2008 Hans Charles Freeman was born on 26 May 1929 in Breslau, Germany. His family arrived in Sydney as refugees in 1938. After attending Double Bay Public School, he received his secondary education at Sydney Boys' High School where he was taught science by the ‘now-legendary’ teacher Leonard A. Basser. He proceeded to the University of Sydney, graduating B.Sc.(1st. Class Hons.), with the University Medal in 1950. While holding appointments as Teaching Fellow and Temporary Lecturer, he carried out research on the dipole moments of organic molecules in the gas state under the supervision of Professor R.J.W. Le Fèvre, and graduated M.Sc. in 1952. In 1952-3 he was a Rotary Foundation Fellow at the California Institute of Technology. There, at the suggestion of Linus Pauling, he began research in X-ray crystal structure analysis with one of the leading thinkers and strategists of the subject, Edward W. Hughes. In 1954 he returned to the University of Sydney as a Lecturer in Chemistry, and completion of the research begun in California led to the award of a Sydney Ph.D.
