Industrial Informatics and Automation (IIA)

We investigate the potential of distributed intelligent control architectures in various industrial application areas. Learn more.

Parallel and reconfigurable computing

High performance computing from the desktop PC to the supercomputer, exploiting multicore processors, FPGAs, clusters are just some of the research interests in this area. Learn more.

Power electronics

We are involved with the development of inductive power transfer (IPT), motor control, electric vehicles, power electronics systems and magnetic modelling. Learn more.

Power systems

We are exploring research concerned with all topical aspects of electrical power system engineering that includes monitoring, operation, protection, control and planning. Learn more.

Robotics

Our long-term goal is to create robot assistants that will interact with and help humans. Robots need to be able to learn tasks from their human instructors, and carry out these tasks when the human requires it. Learn more.

Systems and control

In this field of research we have developed close links with the School of Biological Sciences, School of Medicine as well as other universities and industries in New Zealand. Learn more.
