“UTS has developed a work-based learning approach that I
liked very much. When I started working, I didn’t need much

“When employers look for their prospective employees, they

Solutions with real-world impact.
When you choose a Master of Engineering (Research) or
PhD at UTS you will be part of a lively and rigorous research
culture.
Our researchers are recognised leaders in their fields with
a reputation for driving innovation and creating solutions
with real world impact.
UTS is a major force in a range of specialisations including:
> intelligent mechatronic systems
> quantum computation and intelligent systems
> innovation in IT services and applications
> health technologies
> green energy vehicle innovation
> real-time information networks
> built infrastructure
> technology in water and wastewater
> advanced analytics
XIAOYU GU
> electrical machines and power electronics PhD Student,
> energy policy School of Civil and Environmental Engineering
> human-centred technology design Xiaoyu is researching smart base isolation for the seismic
protection of civil infrastructures. The group has prototyped
the world’s first adaptive magneto-rheological elastomer
(MRE) isolator whose stiffness can be controlled by applied
current. Her research is focused on the development
of control algorithms and analysis and synthesis of the
controlled MRE base isolation system which can ‘exploit’
the uniqueness of the MRE isolator for the ultimate seismic
protection of the superstructures.
Through this research Xiaoyu hopes to establish the
characteristics of the MRE base isolator, develop the control
algorithm targeting on the specific control of the MRE
isolation system and test the experimental realisation of the
real-time controlled smart base isolation system.

ADVANCED CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND PIPE
FAILURE PREDICTION PROJECT
This international project addresses the escalating
problems the water industry faces because of the failure
of ageing buried pipes in water supply and distribution
networks.
With more than $500bn worth of critical pipe assets in
Australia, the UK and US alone, water authorities urgently
need to be able to predict where and when major failures
of critical pipes will occur, and put effective, long term
preventative measures in place.
The project has produced significant outcomes to improve
water pipe inspection and prediction of pipe failure to
reduce renewal/maintenance costs and to improve
reliability and customer service.
A key component of the research conducted at UTS used
innovative machine learning approaches to enhance the
effectiveness of more conventional condition assessment
technologies.
“The scope of this project is large because there are
so many factors that can influence why a pipe breaks
– various pressures inside the pipe, soil conditions, the
actual materials that are being used,” says Associate
Professor and project lead Jaime Valls Miro, from the UTS
Centre for Autonomous Systems.
“The research has a direct benefit to industry as it provides
specific tools to prevent critical pipe failures, protecting
freshwater supply for utilities and their customers.”
“Tools developed by the project team are now being used
by utility partners to enhance internal operations, improve
customer service and reduce on-going maintenance
renewal costs.”

Research centres
The Centre for Autonomous Systems focuses on two
key issues in robotics: ‘robots in unknown and complex
environments’ and ‘human robot interaction’. Its research
strengths include: autonomous robots; electrical
machines; automotive systems; and investigation of
human-machine and human-environment interaction.
Its gritblasting robotic technology, now used to clean the
Sydney Harbour Bridge, was successfully commercialised
by SABRE Autonomous Solutions.
The Centre for Green Energy and Vehicle Innovations
combines expertise from the former Centre for Intelligent
Mechatronic Systems and Centre for Electrical Machines
and Power Engines. It provides solutions for the rapidly
expanding high-tech and overlapping industrial sectors
for green energy systems and advanced low emission
vehicles. Its vision to bring eco-friendly vehicles to
mainstream motoring led to the recently designed dual
clutch system for the Beijing Electric Vehicle Company.

techniques; advanced systems for ground and surface for the early detection, diagnosis and rehabilitation
water treatment; and flood management and catchment of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurological
modelling for flood prediction. disorders and cancer. Its four research programs
include: non-invasive instrumentation; bio-therapeutics;
bio-electromagnetics; and nano-biotechnology.
The Centre for Built Infrastructure Research is one
of the earliest research centres at UTS. It addresses
important global issues relating to building structures,
materials, design, management, improvement, safety
and conservation. Its research areas include: using
smart materials for dynamic and structural engineering;
innovative timber engineering; earthquake engineering;
geotechnical engineering; and materials engineering such
as ecofriendly ‘green cement’. It also houses the largest
state-of-the-art shaker table facility in Australia.
The Transport Research Centre is a multidisciplinary,
cross-facility transport research hub within UTS. The
Centre provides a single point of contact for government,
industry and community groups wishing to engage with
research teams from across the university. It has a focus on
the development of new technologies and approaches that
optimise network performance across all transport modes.
