Research Groupings
Swinburne Research Centres
Swinburne University of Technology has 13 designated Research Centres which cultivate strength in specific areas by concentrating resources (both human and instrumental).
These Centres consist of groups of researchers that collectively have a demonstrable national or international profile.
All of Swinburne's Research Centres can demonstrate an excellent record of scholarship, publication and research funding. These areas provide an outstanding environment for the training of postgraduate research students. The EIS Research Centres are:
- Centre for Atom Optics and Ultrafast Spectroscopy (CAOUS)
CAOUS comprises five research groups: the Quantum-Atom Optics, the Cold Molecules and the Theory group, which forms the Swinburne node of the ARC Centres of Excellence for Quantum-Atom Optics (ACQAO); the Ultrafast group (which includes the Swinburne node of the ARC Centres of Excellence for Coherent X-ray Science (CXS)) and the Applied Optics Group. - Centre for Micro-Photonics (CMP)
The Centre for Micro-Photonics is an internationally leading Centre in biophotonics and nanophotonics. It provides a world-class laboratory for training Australian and international research students. Its mission is to develop innovative nanophotonic devices for all-optical information technology; to develop novel optoelectronic imaging methods for biological studies and industrial applications; and to understand mechanisms for light interaction with biological materials. - Centre for Sustainable Infrastructure (CSI)
The Centre for Sustainable Infrastructure (CSI) provides a focus for multi-disciplinary research in the field of sustainable civil infrastructure. CSI has three major research programs involving industry partners, centre staff, research fellows and graduate students. - Industrial Research Institute Swinburne (IRIS)
The eTherapy unit are leaders in the development, evaluation and delivery of internet-based treatment programs.
Other FEIS Research Groups
- Australian Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC)
AusAMRC is an open and collaborative industry alliance seeking to develop technology-driven solutions to ensure Australian supplier organisations are amongst the most innovative, competitive and capable in the world. - Biomedical Engineering
Research in Biomedical Engineering at Swinburne covers a wide range of topics from biomaterials and surface engineering, macro and micro fluidics, micro and nanoscale fabrication techniques, applied optics through to biological engineering, medical and biological imaging techniques and the creation of biomimetic systems. - Centre for Ageing
This centre focuses on the research and development of assistive products and technologies to assist with needs of the elderly, people with a disability and their carers to maintain independence. - Centre for Ocean Engineering, Science and Technology
The Centre currently conducts research on ocean wave and air-sea interactions, and will be conducting new programs on tropical cyclones and climate change. The Centre aims to advance knowledge in the broad fields of fundamental physical oceanography, environmental extremes and hazards, and the climate. - ESER (ESER)
The group specialises in research on teaching and learning innovations, and has research foci around student engagement, improving teaching practices, professional identity development, industry engagement in professional education and educational technologies to improve student learning. - Electric Vehicle Research Group (EVG)
Electric Vehicle Research is a multidisciplinary area covering broad and complex aspects - involving Electrical engineering, Mechanical engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics and Chemical engineering. - High Temperature Processing (HTP)
High temperature processes are an essential element of advanced industrial societies.
They dominate energy, metal and materials production. Controlling and optimising these processes requires sophisticated understanding of thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, transport phenomena, fluid dynamics and advanced control systems - Impact Behaviour of Materials and Structures (IBMS)
Impact Behaviour of Materials and Structures (IBMS) is arguably Australia's leading research group for studying the behavior of innovative materials and structures under dynamic/impact loadings.
IBMS has established its reputation based on its world class material and structural testing facilities and its creative researchers. - mathematics@Swinburne
