A/Prof Justin Leontini (Scientific communication - how to get people to know things)
Abstract:
Most researchers love finding things out, but that is only half the job - you need to let other people know what you've found! In this talk, I will discuss some ways that might help make this process a little smoother, including defining the scientific method, types of papers and writing styles, argument and logic, tips for presentations and potential other media to use.
Biography:
A/Prof. Justin Leontini is currently in the Department of Mechanical and Product Design Engineering at Swinburne University of Technology. His research spans a number of areas in fluid mechanics and fluid-structure interaction, using numerical techniques and high-performance computing. He is currently working on projects across respiratory flows and medical ventilation, ocean wave power and coastal protection, aeroelasticity, and carbon composite curing. He teaches fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, and is currently the chair of the outreach subcommittee of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society.
Dr Michael Stevens (I’ve submitted my thesis! Now what?)
Dr Stevens received his undergraduate degree in Medical Engineering from Queensland University of Technology in 2010, graduating with first class honours. He then completed his PhD in 2014 at the University of Queensland, in which he developed an automatic control system for an artificial heart. He commenced a postdoctoral position as a Research Associate at the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering in August 2015. He then became a lecturer in January 2018 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2022. He leads a research team in the field of artificial hearts, which focus on using advanced signal processing techniques, simulations and machine learning to provide clinicians with more patient data. In his 9-year research career, he has co-authored over 50 publications and raised more than $6 million in research funding. Dr Stevens is also the Postgraduate Coordinator in the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, where he guides PhD students throughout their candidature.
Dr. Paul Collins (Sheetmetal to Boardshorts)
Intro –
Engineering is fundamentally a human based discipline and as such we as engineers and researchers need to consider the human experience and impact our work has. This presentation will highlight the use commonly used engineering tools (eg FEA and others) in non-conventional settings to create changes in processes and optimise performance of systems and ultimately create a better outcomes for people. Sheetmetal to Boardshorts is a reference to Dr. Collins career path starting in a very conventional engineering setting to now innovating in a very different setting.
Bio –
Dr. Paul Collins is currently the Director of Engineering Excellence for the Australian Cycling Team. He has undergraduate degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Commerce, and a PhD in Engineering. Dr. Collins has worked for GM Holden, Ford and Worley Parsons as well as a consultant, before joining Deakin in an academic role and working up to the level of Associate Professor of Design Engineering. Whilst at Deakin, Dr. Collins built research partnerships with Quiksilver, HeiQ, Lululemon as well other partners. He has published extensively in a range of topics involving design engineering, material development and human factors, hold several patents and was almost exclusively funded by industry for his research. In 2022, Dr. Collins moved across to Australian Cycling to help rebuild the organisation post 2021 Tokyo Olympics. As well as his role at AusCycling he sits on the Innovation Advisory Board for HeiQ, a global materials development company.
