Title: Rapid Prototyping of Real Time Control Systems: Achieving a lot with very little
Speaker: Dr Benjamin Cazzolato (School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Adelaide)
Date/Time: Friday, 21st September 2012 2:30pm – 3:30pm
Venue: 85/2209
Abstract:
This presentation will illustrate how Matlab/Simulink is used to enhance learning and teaching outcomes for engineering students in the School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Adelaide. A broad range of real-time control examples will be presented followed by a particular case study: EDWARD - Electric Diwheel With Active Rotation Damping.

Speaker Information:
Ben Cazzolato is currently an associate professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering, the University of Adelaide. He began research in the field of acoustics and vibrations as an undergraduate at the University of Adelaide in the School of Mechanical Engineering. He graduated with 1st Class Honours in a BEng degree (Mechanical Engineering) at the University of Adelaide in 1990. After completion of the undergraduate studies, he commenced employment with VIPAC Engineers & Scientists as a consulting engineer. In 1998 Ben completed his PhD thesis titled "Sensing systems for active control of sound transmission into cavities" with the Active Noise and Vibration Control Group at the University of Adelaide, South Australia. Whilst undertaking postgraduate and post-doctoral research he was also involved in numerous consulting projects in conjunction with MechTest Pty Ltd, University of Adelaide. In 2000 Ben was awarded an Anglo-Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship by the Royal Academy of Engineering to undertake research into Optimal Focusing of Underwater Acoustic Source Arrays. Ben spent a year working with Professor Philip Nelson, at the University of Southampton studying new signal processing techniques to avoid distortion of active sonar signals. In addition to his current teaching commitments Ben is actively involved in many research projects.
