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.
