  • Biography/ Background

    My research involves two primary areas:

    Ocean Wave Energy Harvesting

    Wave Energy Research at the 成人大片 was established in 2014. I'm leading the R&D work in this research field including wave energy converter design, optimisation, control and techno-economic assessment in partnership with leading scientists and industries across the globe. I am the deputy director & executive manager within the . I am a key member of the 成人大片 . My research on modelling, modal analysis and control of point absorber wave energy converter was recognized by the Australian Endeavour Fellowship Award.

    Robotics, Control and Biomechanics

    Based in the , I study 6DOF robotic testing technologies and joint biomechanics. My work on developing the was awarded the by Engineers Australia, being South Australia's highest annual engineering recognition. 

    I have extensive practical experience on real-time control system development, in particular based on the configurable National Instruments and Mathworks solutions. I also have extensive management experience on partnership development for many large-scale research and industrial projects in area such as renewable energy. My consulting rate is reasonable, which guarantees project outcome delivery and achieves value for money.
