Huy Pham, former Bio-Engineering Group undergrad student returns to pursue a PhD program - Welcome Huy!

We warmly welcome Danul Welihinda, who has commenced his Master’s by Research with us.

The Bioengineering Lab at UNSW Canberra focuses on drawing inspiration from the biological systems of animals to solve engineering problems. Observing and modeling organisms such as insects, avians, and swimming animals, we are looking to design and create smarter engineering solutions.

We strive to conduct multi-disciplinary research that blends engineering, organismal biology, and robotics.
