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).

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

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:

Research project seeking students: Stents are meshed wired scaffolds implanted into narrowed arteries to prevent heart attacks and strokes. They still fail in 1 in 10 patients besides being the most common treatment for the largest cause of death world-wide. 

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