My research interests include Digital Communications, Engineering Education and Women in Engineering.

Most of my recent research in Digital Communications has been on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM  is the modulation technique used in many new broadband communication schemes  including digital television, digital audio, ADSL and wireless LANs.  Information on OFDM and research on OFDM at Monash University is available in the OFDM Research pages.   The work of my OFDM research group has led to more than 30 papers, several patents on OFDM and  a number of current and completed postgraduate research projects. We have active collaboration with local industry.  Our OFDM research topics include: the effect of impulse noise and impulse noise mitigation in OFDM; efficient DSP implementation of OFDM (with Analog Devices Australia); peak-to-average power reduction; third generation modulation schemes including Polynomial Cancellation Coded OFDM (PCC-OFDM); and frequency sensitivity of OFDM.

I am also supervising one research project on packet scheduling for GPRS. 

My research on engineering education has focused on student centred learning and on ways of developing generic skills within undergraduate courses. 

My work on women in engineering has mainly been on how structures within engineering education can (unintentionally) disadvantage women postgraduates and women academics.
