A novel collaborative project being developed with local councils and other partners with a range of industry support. The concept will develop:
Project Based Learning for University and High School Students
A focal point for STEAM talent in the region
Talent pipeline for local industry
Teaching high-volume manufacturing principles by producing at high volumes
Experience in a simulated “company” maximum industry preparation
Utilise contemporary software and systems in an applied environment
Continual program reinvestment through an NFP structure
In addition, the project will support a range of research projects into; AI and advanced monitoring systems, materials, intelligent control systems and hybrid energy storage systems.
A large proportion of my research has involved development of novel instrumentation to be able to monitor, assess and predict the stability of combustion flames. This image is from a coal flame.
This work is exploring the computationally efficient zone modelling methodology to predict oxy-combustion through a recirculating flue gas approach. This graph shows the model and measured centre line tempeature and heat flux.
