We have research expertise in acoustics, non-destructive testing, remote sensing and sensor development.
Our researchers also work in areas like realistic sound for cinema and gaming, architectural acoustics for learning spaces, noise and vibration control.
Our expertise is in sensor applications, instrumentation, control and wireless sensor networks.
Expertise in speech processing, image processing and language processing technologies. Our research is investigating Māori speech recognition tools and speech emotion and sentiment recognition. We are investigating applying speech processing technology in foreign language teaching and learning and the development of text mining and machine translation.
Our researchers have expertise in electronic design and testing.
Our expertise in power electronics has application into variable speed machine drives, integration of multiple sources of renewable energy, sensing and instrumentation, and the application into automation and robotics.
We also have expertise in microchip design, Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) and integrated circuit design.
Our researchers have expertise in areas related to the telecommunications network including the internet, network planning and mobile communication networks.
This area involves developing algorithms and software for recognising patterns, individuals, objects and other specialist features in images and movie sequences. Applications include security scanning systems, control of robots and product quality scanning.
We also have interests in visual perception, colour science and multi/hyper-spectral imaging.
This study is investigating potential adverse effects of electromagnetic radiation on human health caused by the next generation of telecommunication networks – or 5G.
The study, led by Dr Faraz Hasan, will potentially either build consumer confidence in the future telecommunication services or result in the recommendation of industry modifications to the technology to ensure human wellbeing.
A new device designed by engineers and veterinarians at Massey University seeks to change the way we understand and manage animal pain, starting with sheep. The research team worked with Massey’s engineering expertise to develop a device which is better for animal and researcher. It transmits data via wifi and is lighter and more comfortable for the animal.
This project explores innovative methods to make future 5G communication technology a reality without incurring heavy financial investment. This work, led by Dr Faraz Hasan, changes the very nature of 5G networks from being fixed, capacity-limited and hardware-driven to being dynamic, always-available and software-driven.
Telecommunication and Network Engineering research group works on issues that are pertinent to the next generation communication networks. Our focus areas include 5G Cellular Networks, software defined networking, energy harvesting and green communication.
Bachelor of Engineering with Honours students work on a project with industry during their study. If you are interested in working with our students, contact us.
This project worked to develop a tiller pilot to temporarily hold a sail-boat on course . The pilot uses various sensors to determine the boat’s heading and compares it with the desired heading, calculates the error and the rate of change, and processes this information using a fuzzy logic algorithm. Proportional control is used to adjust the speed of the motor which is connected to a mechanical reduction gearbox which in turn controls the rudder angle.
The use of wireless networks has evolved dramatically over the last fifteen years, with users now expecting to be able to do network-intensive tasks such as VoIP while roaming across a network. To make this possible, the latency due to handover between wireless access points (APs) needs to be reduced, to provide for a seamless user experience. Matthew worked on this project, which was concerned with finding methods to improve roaming performance on a pre-existing large wireless network
