The Centre for Wireless Monitoring and Applications creates intelligent wireless technology and explores the impact of that technology in a wide range of research fields including mining and geophysics, civil infrastructure, telecommunications, alternative power and human activity (biomedical and athlete monitoring).
Major advances in technology developed through the Centre contribute to an enhanced human environment, more efficient and effective mining operation, improved athlete performance, and injury diagnosis and recovery monitoring,
This is achieved through the one-stop development of low-cost, smart, wireless networks and the rigorous assessment of the impact of these new technologies through out the community. One focus relates to the minimisation of e-waste.
The Centres staff expertise includes the disciplines of:
- electronic engineering
- biomedical measurement
- smart antenna technology
- wireless communications
- microelectronics
- physics
- electromagnetic geophysics
- software and firmware development
- advanced manufacturing technologies
The Centre offers one-stop solutions for sensing tasks including problem definition, sensor development, network design, manufacture and installation.
The Centre undertakes fundamental and applied research and product development for companies external to the University on a fee-for-service basis.
The Centre has a strong culture of on-time and on-cost project management
