Energy & resilience

We research the fundamental enabling technologies for clean, safe, scalable, powerful and resilient power systems, in order to achieve net zero carbon emissions without harming our society and industrial economy.

Engineered health solutions

We solve medical problems related to device design and analysis, health robotics, data analysis and materials development. We work closely with local and international industry and clinical colleagues to ensure our solutions are useful and translatable.

Robotics & autonomous systems

We research and develop methodologies for sensing, decision making and control of mechanical and software systems. This research covers the theoretical areas of control systems, perception, autonomous systems and image processing.

WAVES: Wear, aeroacoustics & vibration in engineering systems

Our expertise in engineering systems includes acoustics, noise generated by flow, vibration, condition monitoring and wear. We perform fundamental and applied research to create novel solutions for industry and society.
