What I enjoyed the most at Monash was learning various

softwares such as SolidWorks for 3D modelling and Matlab for
programming, and getting hands-on experience with 3D
printers. To this day, I spend several hours a week in SolidWorks,
designing parts and printing them with my 3D printer. The fun I
had with Matlab inspired the topic of my final-year project:
single-pixel imaging technique enhanced with deep-learning
that can be applied to the imaging and detection of hydrogen
gas leaks, potentially saving lives. All of this shaped me into the
person I am today.”

A QUICK GLANCE
AT WHAT WE’RE WORKING ON…

IMPROVING PATIENT MOBILITY ENABLING SAFE DRINKING WATER

Diseases like stroke and injuries to the spinal cord often result in
reduced mobility and are reported to be among the leading causes of
mobility impairments worldwide. We’re working on an exoskeleton,
called Ambulate Me, to help support the body by sending stimulation
signals to the affected muscle group so that the limbs can move again.
A three-pronged collaboration between Monash, University of Newcastle,
and Sri Lanka Institute of Nanotechnology is addressing the global water
challenge. Together, our researchers are developing a portable filtration
device, produced at a fraction of the cost of other similar water filters,
that can be fitted into water bottles to allow those deprived of access
to clean drinkable water.

REPURPOSING E-WASTE DETECTING HARMFUL POLLUTANTS

Without e-waste recycling, natural materials used in electronic and
electrical components are lost when products are discarded. Our
mining and minerals engineering experts are exploring the extraction
of copper from discarded printed circuit boards. We’re also developing
a Smart E-Waste Collection Box, which uses a mobile application to
optimise the collection of e-waste materials.
A Monash team is working on an advanced sensor that can detect
harmful environmental pollutants. The sensor will be able to function
without a power supply and can be manufactured into wearables like
watches, rings and belts. This invention will make an enormous
difference for people living in polluted cities.

Alleviating traffic
congestion
Traffic congestion costs Malaysia
RM13 billion yearly in lost productivity,
wasted fuel and environmental damage.
Dr Susilawati’s research is looking into
coordinating traffic signals to reduce up
to 100 seconds in travel time for each
driver. She’s part of a multidisciplinary
research team at Monash that is
developing an intelligent transportation
ecosystem to ease traffic congestion
and reduce carbon emissions.

DR SANGEETAPRIVYA P. SIVA
Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours)
Doctor of Philosophy (Chemical Engineering)
Researcher, KLK Oleomas

Sangeetaprivya worked on a model based on population balance modelling principles that

could describe the formation of emulsion droplets stabilised by cellulose nanocrystals. Her
main goal was to understand the evolution of the emulsion droplet sizes by considering its
dynamic interaction phenomena at a fundamental level. These models could potentially be
used to view and analyse emulsification processes at an industrial scale.
This could benefit various industries, including food and pharmaceuticals, especially if their
intention is to study various controlling parameters of the process without having to
conduct repetitive, tedious experimental works.
