Research
The School has major
research centres and groups as well as a number of independent research
activities, establishing a focus, whose benefits include the capacity
to establish the 'critical mass' necessary for much of modern technology-based
research, as well as providing the School and postgraduate research
students with a definite sense of identity and belonging.
Research Centres
and Groups
Bioelectromagnetics Laboratory
The laboratory co-ordinates a number of lines of research on possible health effects from non-ionising radiation sources, such as electrical power lines and communications devices. It investigates general interactions of electromagnetic fields with biological tissue.
The laboratory is part of a new national research centre to study possible radiofrequency bioeffects from mobile phones and other radio sources.
Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures (CAIA)
The Centre was established in early 2002 and conducts research into a broad range of areas involving Internet performance analysis, IP routing and quality of service architectures, IP network robustness and IP mobility protocols. CAIA is currently in a growth phase, and aims to become an international leader in these areas and create a world-class laboratory for training research students.
Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing
The Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing combines world-class research into astronomy with applied research into andapplication of supercomputing technique.
Centre for Intelligent Systems and Complex Processes
The Centre specialises in organising, optimising and modeling complex scientific and industrial processes by means of artifical neural networks, evolutionary algorithms and co-operative intelligence systems. Part of the work of the centre involves research in algorithm development with particular emphasis on cost and time efficient techniques for working with complex processes, the balance involves solving industrial problems.
Centre
for Neuropsychology
The Centre for Neuropsychology (previously known as the Neuropsychology
Laboratory) includes the Organisational Psychology Research Unit,
plus study areas in Electromagnetic Radiation, Herbal and Nutrient
Research, Pharmaceuticals, Intelligence, Clinical, Neuropsychological & Forensic Psychology, and Drugs, Driving and Society.
Sensory Neuroscience Laboratory (SNL)
The Sensory Neuroscience Laboratory is a Swinburne research initiative on the electrophysiological analysis of sensory function. Currently olfaction, taste and vision are the key areas of research for which innovative approaches in the design of stimuli, stimulus delivery and methodology are providing solutions to applied and basic science questions.
Swinburne
Optics and Laser Laboratory (SOLL)
