Emeritus Professor in the School of Engineering and Technology at Short Bio: Joseph Lai is an Emeritus rofessor in the SET. He was the Associate Dean (International) at UNSW Canberra from 2012 to 2016, the Associate Dean (Research) from 2004 to 2012 and Professor in Mechanical Engineering in SET. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Australia, a Fellow of the Australian Acoustical Society and an Associate Fellow of AIAA. Professor Lai's research interests are in turbulent shear flows and acoustics and vibration control, with over $3m external research funding in the last 10 years. His current work is focussed on the aerodynamic propulsive mechanism of flapping wings as applied to micro-aerial vehicles and high altitude long endurance vehicles and wind/wave power generation, and vibro-acoustic communication in termites. |

Associate Professor (Deputy Head of School-Admin 2024-) in the School of Engineering and Technology at Short Bio: A/Prof Sridhar Ravi is an Associate Professor in the SET at UNSW Canberra. A/Prof Ravi's research focuses on identifying the salient sensorimotor strategies that enable natural biological systems to deal with challenges of aerial navigation in the inherently complex outdoor environment and implementing these strategies on artificial platforms to build smarter miniature flying robots. He strives to conduct highly multi-disciplinary research whereby he uses biological systems such as insects and birds as inspirational and prototypical models to design and engineer smarter miniature artificial flying systems. |
