Latest newsJuly Answers in the windStudents from around the world will converge on Monash this month as part of the International Future Energy Challenge. June Fabricating the futureA research collaboration between Monash and the CSIRO is pushing new boundaries in engineering, a trend set to increase with a new multimillion dollar venture at the Clayton campus Driving green saves fuel and environmentA Monash pilot study has found "eco driving", a technique that emphasises smoother driving behaviour, has the potential to dramatically cut fuel consumption and carbon emissions in heavy vehicles, and that the lessons can be adopted by all motorists. NoteworthyMonash researchers are at the forefront of efforts to develop a new generation of solar cells that are lighter, cheaper and able to be embedded in future roofing materials. At the coal faceMonash engineers have reprised an old rule of physics to develop a new approach to capturing pollution from coal-fired power stations. Fantastic voyageWhen engineering researcher Dr James Friend came to Monash four years ago, he set about delivering less ''bang for the buck''. Considering he previously designed a trigger fuse to set off a thermo-nuclear bomb, that had to be a very good thing. Celebrating excellenceAround 40 engineering students and five staff were recognised for their outstanding achievements during 2008 at the Engineering Awards Presentation Dinner. Driving green saves fuel and environmentA pilot study has found "eco driving" -- a technique that emphasises smoother driving behaviour -- has the potential to dramatically cut fuel consumption and carbon emissions in heavy vehicles, and that the lessons can be adopted by all motorists. Funding for world-first carbon capture project Monash Engineering researchers are involved in a unique carbon dioxide capture project. May Monash academic receives leadership awardProfessor Brian G. Falzon from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering has been awarded a Future Summit Leadership Award. The Vice Chancellor's Ancora Imparo Student Leadership ProgramApplication for positions in the Vice Chancellor’s 2010 Ancora Imparo Student Leadership Program open on the 20th of May. All first year students studying on Victorian Campuses of Monash University are eligible to apply. Paper-Based Diagnostic and Environmental SensorsChemical Engineering PhD student Xu Li was unanimously voted as winner of the prestigious international contest at Appita New Speakers Contest. Recognition for optical fibre leadershipProfessor Arthur Lowery from the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering has been elected to the grade of IEEE Fellow for his leadership in computer modelling of optical communication systems. April Arts and Engineering get their teeth into dentist trainingA visiting PhD student from Iran's Tarbiat Modares University has developed a simulation for training dentists and bone surgeons. The Physics of Pizza TossingResearchers at the MicroNanophysics Research Laboratory at Monash University have developed a model of pizza tossing based on observations of professional chefs tossing dough 2009 NACE International F.N. Speller Award Recipient Bruce Hinton, an Honorary Professorial Fellow in the Department of Materials Engineering was awarded the 2009 NACE International F.N.Speller Award. Tackling corrosion in industrial infrastructureA CIEAM project team are investigating the use of both traditional and innovative sensing methods to provide information on the current and potential future health of industrial infrastructure. March Elite female cyclists battle the elements in futuristic wind tunnelOn the 20th March the Amy Gillett Foundation announced former Olympic rower turned cycling sensation Amber Halliday as its 2009 Cycling Scholarship recipient. California dreamingMechanical engineering student Ne Tan is spending the first semester of this year studying at the University of California, Berkeley as part of the Monash Abroad program. Scholarship opens doors in Japan Final year Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) student Tim Leach recently returned from a two week, fully paid tour of Japan. Monash Motorsport finishes 2nd in AustraliaIn November 2008, Monash Motorsport competed in the 2008 Formula SAE Australasia Competition Road to successWeerasinghalage Kaushalya (Kaushi) Perera proves pathways programs are an ideal bridge to university study. February Technology to print solar cells like moneyVictorian Minister for Energy and Resources, Peter Batchelor, announced the beginning of trials to print solar cells using technology developed by the CSIRO January Monash researchers awarded funding to strengthen Australia-China science linksMonash researchers collaborating with scientists from Shandong University and Wuhan University of Technology in China have been awarded $250,000. |
