14 Web: Information and Communications Technology Centre for Development (ICT4D) The Centre looks to create ICT solutions that can be applied in a developing-world context. Being the only such centre in Africa, it has been able to attract researchers across many disciplines from across the globe. Contact: Professor G. Marsden Web: Centre for Information Technology and National Development in Africa (CITANDA) The Centre s researchers study, using a diversity of research approaches, the management, development, adoption and impact of ICT in areas related to business, economic and social development in Africa. The Centre explores information systems phenomena that arise in the interaction between technology and Africa s business, cultural, social and economic context. Contact: Professor I. Brown Web: Health Economics Unit (HEU) Through interdisciplinary research and training, the unit works to improve the performance of health systems through informing health policy and enhancing technical and managerial capacity in sub-saharan Africa. Contact: Associate Professor S. Cleary Web: Minerals to Metals The project boosts research on mineral beneficiation from two main perspectives. The first focuses on underlying scientific areas within mineral beneficiation and the second systemic approach considers the entire extraction chain to improve process performance, minimise the use of water and power, reduce waste and promote cleaner production options, more efficient technologies and safer processes. It draws together the skills of world-renowned research staff from the Department of Chemical Engineering, the Department of Physics, the Positron Emission Particle Tracking Research Group, the Centre for Research in Computational and Applied Mechanics, and the Environmental Research Group. Contact: Professor J.P. Franzidis or Professor C.T. O Connor or Web: or Centre for Bioprocess Engineering Research (CeBER) The multi-disciplinary team brings together expertise in reactor studies, process modelling, biokinetics, microbial ecology, biotransformation, micro- and molecular biology, and biohydrometallurgy to develop detailed understanding of bioprocess systems. Contact: Professor S.T.L. Harrison Web: bio.php Research Unit for Exercise Science and Sports Medicine The primary functions of the unit are to research factors influencing physical performance and health, and to disseminate knowledge and skills through education. The Unit s research aims to develop a novel understanding of integrated human function during exercise, to treat and prevent injuries and medical conditions associated with sport and exercise, and to optimise exercise performance. Contact: Professor T.D. Noakes Web: Centre for Theoretical and Mathematical Physics (CTMP) The Centre draws its members from the departments of Astronomy, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Physics. It has extensive international collaborations and postgraduate students doing research in related fields interact with internationally acclaimed scientists. Contact: Professor H. Weigert The Institute for Humanities in Africa (HUMA) The Institute is located in the Faculties of Humanities and Law and channels inter-disciplinary research in two broad themes: On Being Human and Circuits of Consumption. Contact: Professor D. Posel Web: Gordon Institute for Performing and Creative Arts (GIPCA) The Institute facilitates new collaborative and interdisciplinary creative research projects in the disciplines of music, dance, fine arts, drama, creative writing, and film and media studies. Contact: Associate Professor Jay Pather Web: Archive and Curatorship (ARC) The programme is a response to the contemporary imperative for universities to examine critically the archives of their knowledge systems in order to open up routes to new, or refigured, bodies of evidence and new forms of knowledge. It couples critical enquiry into inherited archives with innovative visual methodologies of work in relation to archive. Contact: Professor Carolyn Hamilton 13
