Driving innovation in emerging and disruptive technologies

We’re shaping the future through pioneering research in quantum algorithms, cybersecurity advanced manufacturing and AI-powered modelling. We’re leaders in developing renewable materials and clean energy solutions, while delivering practical breakthroughs in sustainable water management. At the same time, we’re transforming sound and vibration technologies in areas like health, transport and defence, unlocking insights through AI-powered modelling and spatial analytics.

Our research centres

Centre for Advanced Modelling and Geospatial Information Systems

We use cutting-edge technologies like GIS, remote sensing, and data modelling to better understand and protect our planet—advancing disaster response, resource management, and environmental insights through innovative earth observation solutions.

Centre for Advanced Manufacturing

We’re Australia’s leading interdisciplinary research hub dedicated to advancing Australia's manufacturing sector through innovation, digital transformation, and industry collaboration.

Centre for Audio, Acoustics and Vibration

We’re a leading research hub dedicated to advancing technologies in sound, vibration, and mechatronics. We develop innovative solutions that enhance Australia's sustainability, resilience, and technological sovereignty.

Centre for Quantum Software and Information

We’re a leading research hub dedicated to advancing quantum computing and information technologies. We focus on both theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum science, aiming to develop the software and infrastructure essential for future quantum technologies.

Centre for Green Technology

We pioneer clean energy, emissions monitoring, and waste valorisation solutions. Through bold research in hydrogen fuels, sustainable materials, and real-world sensing, we’re exemplifying UTS’s leadership in emerging and disruptive technologies for a low-carbon, circular economy.

Centre for Technology in Water and Wastewater

We lead in alternative water technologies, creating innovative solutions for recycled, desalinated, and harvested stormwater. Our work supports water security, boosts economic and environmental benefits, improves infrastructure, and reduces the carbon footprint of water-intensive residential, commercial, and industrial uses.
