Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) will support multiyear research projects of three Australian academics with initial grants of AU$75,000 for interdisciplinary research collaboration in engineering, quantum communications, human machine interactions and cognitive radio systems.

Senator Birmingham announced the awards recently at Parliament House. They were presented to Robert Malaney, associate professor, University of New South Wales; Roberto Sabatini, professor, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and Tansu Alpcan, associate professor, University of Melbourne.

 “As the speed of technological change rapidly increases it’s critical that we continue to support research and development and embrace innovation.
