Research Strengths

Robotics, Automation and Manufacturing
Robotics, Automation, and Manufacturing (RAM) research requires a systems approach to integrate technologies from various traditional engineering disciplines. The mission of RAM research group is to undertake inter-disciplinary research in all areas of Mechatronics. The research focus of RAM is aimed to discover and develop fundamental scientific principles and practices applicable to RAM, to educate at undergraduate and graduate levels in the field of RAM, and to promote technology transfer between the university and industry to yield solutions to real world problems for a wide range of application domains.

Photonics Semiconductor Communication Technologies
There has never been a more appropriate time in history for technological advances due to semiconductor and photonics technology. Its unrelenting advances have led to the sprouting of numerous interdisciplinary fields from avionics to medical sciences.

This research strength comprises of highly knowledgeable researchers in three key technological areas: photonics, semiconductor and communications; and the group aspires to strengthen Monash University’s world-renowned standing in emerging and future technology. Semiconductors and photonics are the fundamental backbone of modern high speed information technologies and communication infrastructures; and are therefore intricately and intimately linked. Photonic semiconductor devices are envisaged to reach the mass market within a decade, hence the Photonics Semiconductor Communication Technologies Research Strength aims to position the University to capitalize on this emerging field using the strong industrial ties present amongst group members and their extensive expertise in photonics, semiconductors and communications.

Chemical and Sustainable Process Engineering
The most widely quoted definition for sustainability is "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It means to create and maintain conditions, under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic, and other requirements of present and future generations. The dimensions of sustainability are environmental, social and economic, known as the "three pillars". The challenges for industry arising from the necessary transition to a sustainable society and increased global competition have resulted in improving the existing process and developing innovative processes which are environmentally sustainable and technically/environmentally sound. The requirement that chemical processes should be safe, compact, flexible, energy-efficient, environmentally benign and conducive to the rapid commercialization of new products poses new challenges for chemical engineers. Advances in scientific understanding and technology development are crucial elements of sound environmental policy, management, and regulations. Chemical and Sustainable Process Engineering (CSPE) Research Group has an important role to play in promoting and verifying new technologies for sustainability. The CSPE is one of the most rapidly growing research areas in Process Engineering. The vision of CSPE Research Group is to serve the society through research that expands the realm of knowledge; teaching, learning, and engagement through the exchange of knowledge on energy and materials.
