Creating inclusive organisations
Organisations are increasingly striving to develop inclusive workplaces and practices that will lead to sustainable employment and career opportunities for people with disability. Yet low employment rate and limited opportunities for career progression persist for people with disability in Australia. Research themes that seek to address this inequity include intersectionality, to consider the difference gender and other identities and diverse backgrounds make.

Facilitating Towards Sustainable Electric Vehicles Trading System
The number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) on the road is expected to reach 145 million by 2030. As the number of EVs on the road increases, the demand for energy to charge these vehicles also grows. Traditional charging infrastructure may not meet the increasing energy demands, which may lead to increased waiting time in those charging stations. The EV-EV trading scheme is a promising solution that allows EV owners to access additional energy from nearby EVs. This scheme has attracted …

Increasing resilience of robotic systems through quickest change detection technology
Future robotics systems are likely to benefit from having an ability to self-diagnose self-failure or the presence of anomalous situations (so that they can switch to fallback or fail-safe modes). Example situations include subtle sensor or actuator failure and cyber security or physical intruder detection.Such low signal-to-noise anomaly detection or self-diagnose problems can be understood using powerful mathematical and statistical tools which QCR has a rich history of advancing through collaboration with industry partners and publication in premium international venues.

The human factors in self-service technology
Organisations are increasingly moving toward self-service technology (where consumers deliver services themselves using technological interfaces). While this increases organisational efficiencies, it has the potential to significantly impact customer engagement with the organisation. We're seeking a Masters or PhD student to investigate the human factors involved in self-service technology delivery: How do situational factors impact consumers' adoption of self-service technologies? What motivators and inhibitors impact self-service technology usage? Do consumers always respond appropriately within self-service environments? The successful applicant for this …
