Cardiovascular disease is the single largest killer in the world, causing heart attacks and strokes. Experimental investigation of underlying principles is key to combating this epidemic; however, individual considerations are still completely missing.  

Research project seeking students: Stents are mesh-wired scaffolds implanted into narrowed arteries to prevent heart attacks and strokes. They still fail in 1 in 10 patients, despite being the most common treatment for the leading cause of death worldwide.

The UNSW Engine Research Laboratory performs experimental research on all types of powertrain systems used in automobiles, power generators, aeroplanes and ships. The keywords of our research are: Petrol (Gasoline) Engines, Diesel Engines, Gasoline Compression Igntion Engines, Dual-Fuel Engines, Optical Engines, In-cylinder Flow and Turbulence, In-cylinder Combustion Process, Optical/Laser Diagnostics, Engine Performance and Emissions Testing, Fuel Injection System, Pollutants Formation (soot, NOx, HC, CO, CO2) and Alternative Fuels (Hydrogen, Ethanol, Biodiesel and Natural Gas).

The Advanced Combustion Diagnostics group conducts in-depth research across thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, combustion, heat, and mass transfer.

UNSW has been at the forefront of vanadium redox flow battery technology since the invention of the first all-vanadium redox flow cell by Professor Maria Skyllas-Kazacos and co-workers in 1985.

This project is focused on applications like controlled delivery of softeners, nutrients, and drugs from droplets like those in a shampoo, food, or drug formulation.

Algal and cyanobacteria blooms are of particular concern in drinking water resources due to their adverse impact on treatment processes, as well as their potential to release harmful toxins and taste and odour compounds into water supplies.

Potable source water frequently has a high organic matter (OM) content originating from decaying plants, soil and peat, bacterial activity, algal blooms and upstream treated effluent discharges.

The bulldozer shown here will be automated to follow a prescribed path highly accurately. In the future, the blade control will be incorporated to demonstrate earth moving tasks.

UNSW Sydney and the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications host the largest Real-time Digital Simulation Laboratory in Australia with extended simulation capabilities in the areas of:

Project Overview

The PhD project will develop new value-added products and innovate current processing methods, in a close partnership with one of the leading beverage companies in the world, Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE), the maker of Moccona a

The Australian dairy industry plays a significant part in the nation’s economy, with almost $3 billion in export revenue in 2016-2017.

Utilising our geographically abundant solar energy and through designing novel photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic systems, the research provides an ultimately clean solution by efficiently harnessing and converting the solar energy to hydrogen while remediating wastewater.

The proposed project aims to develop strategic and integrated approaches to address the impact of variability in water characteristics caused by climate change on Australian water treatment processes (WTPs).

The aim of this work is to identify the factors responsible for the emerging problem of catastrophic stress corrosion cracking failure of rock bolts in underground mines and to develop strategies for resisting rock bolt failure.

Avian influenza and pandemic risk is a major focus of our research.

This project investigates the structures of heparan sulphate proteoglycans that control the tissue development and aging including liver, heart, kidney, palate and brain by studying genetically modified mice.

Diabetes is a world-wide health issue that affects approximately 1.7 million Australians. Diabetes causes changes throughout the body including impairing the ability to heal wounds that are typically located on the feet and lower legs. 

Nanoparticles are extensively explored for many cell contacting application such as drug delivery and diagnostic imaging with their safety a topic of much debate and largely related to accumulation within cells.
