We are interested in biomechanics (both engineering biomechanics and sport biomechanics), biomedical engineering, computer integrated surgery, medical robotics and related fields. Our mission is to work towards improving clinical outcomes through appropriate use of technology. Studying Engineering at UWA fosters curiosity and innovation while developing people to be tomorrow’s problem solvers, leaders and creative thinkers. Engineering touches on many aspects of daily life, and there’s an area for you whatever your passion, from biomedical, civil and mechanical engineering, to environmental, chemical, mining and software engineering.
The breadth and depth covered through interdisciplinary collaborations within the faculty offers an opportunity to gain more in-depth technical knowledge and skills to tackle the current challenges and opportunities that come with an uptake of renewable energy and distributed renewable energy in microgrids. A degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering creates opportunities for you to develop sustainable energy solutions, design new technologies, solve detailed computer problems and work with some of the world’s best minds. Other work includes the design of embedded controllers and embedded operating systems, and other simulation systems. The Robotics and Automation Laboratory has been active for more than a decade doing research on all types of autonomous mobile robots, including intelligent driving and walking robots, autonomous underwater vehicles, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Our research scope encompasses renewable energy sources, Smart grids, power electronics (especially FACTS devices), dynamic simulation and estimation of power systems, identification and design of Micro grids, network efficiency optimization, and electric vehicles.
The Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering works with a number of industry partners to ensure our graduates get the best headstart on their careers. Biomedical Engineering takes engineering design and principles and applies them to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes. The SPaRLab is addressing important issues in audio, speech and video signal processing for detection, enhancement and recognition. The UWA Renewable Energy Vehicle Project (REV) hopes to “revolutionise personal transport” by building zero emission vehicles, powered by electricity from renewable sources, charged from any plug point and viable to both the performance and commercial markets.
Our research work entails a wide spectrum of core electrical power engineering knowledge, including Control and Signal Processing techniques and modern Communication technologies. We welcome prospective PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and collaborators with backgrounds or interests in integrated circuit design, sensor lmct casino design, signal processing, computer vision, or machine learning. Current research topics of the group include model/controller reduction, filter design techniques, robust control and singular systems. Employers are seeking graduates who are equipped with the technical skills and knowledge to adapt to and evolve with industry developments.
