Introducing the lecturers of Instrumentation and Control Engineering...
Meet the people you could be learning from - their latest projects and background within the engineering industry.
 |
Professor Parisa A. Bahri |
 |
Professor Philip Jennings |
|
"...inspire the students to learn, teach the students how to think, enthuse the students to inquire, assist the students with discovery of self and lead the students to the thresholds of their minds." - Find out what inspires the Dean of the School of Engineering and Energy. |
Professor Jennings is involved in several Government Committees and several community conservation groups, and has almost 200 published articles on surface physics, photovoltaics, environmental radiation and science education. |

Dr. Chris Creagh Senior Lecturer, Academic Chair, Physics and Nanotechnology + more |

Mr Adam McHugh Lecturer, Energy Studies + more |
|
''I really enjoy lectures... and labs... and tutorials. They all give me a chance to interact with my students and with the physics that I love. Physics has so many cool toys! From bubble wands to the Large Hadron Collider and everything in between. There is so much interesting 'stuff' to play with, to investigate and think about.'' |
"I respect those that place honesty and integrity before narrow self interest and prejudice. I am inspired by those who are ahead of the learning curve. My aspiration is to count myself as one of those people and to help others do the same. I cannot think of a better way to achieve this than through the academic way of life." |

 |
Dr. Gareth Lee |
|
"Everything we do needs energy. To teach in an area that is trying to show different ways of using that energy wisely and supplying it in a more sustainable manner is both very challenging and very enjoyable." |
''Becoming a capable engineer requires hard work over many years - perhaps a lifetime. Now as a university teacher I take great pleasure from sharing the knowledge that I have and guiding students along a path through their studies similar to my own.'' |

Dr. Tania Urmee |
 |
Dr. Elaine Walker |
|
"In this world, very few areas are electrified. To bring solution for this energy crisis, there is a need for the commercial deployment of low greenhouse gas technologies." |
"I get much satisfaction from seeing students engage with their work, and start down the path of life-long learning, with the ability to not only be taught, but to learn for themselves." |

 |
Dr. Jonathan Whale |
 |
Dr. David Parlevliet |
|
"I am inspired by the thought of a network of our multi-skilled graduates from our programs, working all over the world to tackle the issue of climate change head on." |
"I've always been interested in the world around me and studying physics has been a way to really appreciate how things work. I’m passionate about physics, nanotechnology and renewable energy.'' | ||
 |
Adjunct Professor Garry Baverstock AM |
 |
Associate Professor Graeme Cole |
| "I get inspired when students go the extra distance to improve themselves and study beyond the minimum that is needed to achieve the qualification. It shows to me that they will be successful and I start to learn from them as well.'' |
"Teaching is an extremely important part of my life. I thoroughly enjoy the wide range of students I have taught in terms of their abilities, attitudes and backgrounds. It is always a thrill to see students make "breakthroughs" in understanding and/or problem solving.'' |

Dr. Gregory Crebbin |
 |
Dr. Linh Vu Lecturer, Engineering + more |
| "I am inspired by the belief that revelation will follow frustration, so all the hard work will be worth it after all. I hope to impress on students the joy of learning, the discipline to understand why things are as they are, and the desire, skills and energy to go out and do something about it.'' | "I fortunately met many good lecturers and attended many interesting lectures during my study as an undergraduate then PhD student at Sydney University. Now I love to share my knowledge in Process Systems Engineering: process modelling, optimisation and control with research students at the school of Engineering and Energy, Murdoch University.'' |

Dr. Martina Calais |
 |
Dr. Zhong-Tao Jiang Lecturer, Physics and Nanotechnology + more |
| "I am passionate about the use of renewable energy and have a keen interest in photovoltaic systems technology and the integration into existing power systems and environments. It gives me great satisfaction to know that I am assisting future engineers in their education towards designing, integrating maintaining and developing quality renewable energy systems.'' | "I enjoy teaching because I always see how students carry out their studies to successfully achieve their ambitions and ideas in the chosen physics and nanoscience courses. I also encourage students to pursue higher levels of education, and provide valuable support for their academic research.'' | ||
 |
Dr Gerrard Eddy Jai Poinern Senior Lecturer, Physics and Nanotechnology + more |
||
| "Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is an emerging field of science and it encompasses the major sciences of physics, chemistry biology and engineering. With the advent of nanotools for the characterisation of nanomaterials and processes, we are constantly learning about new processes and properties of materials at the nano scale.'' | |||
