Career Summary
Biography
S. O. Reza Moheimani received a BSc degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from shiraz University, Iran in 1990. He then moved to Australia and completed a MEngSc and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at the University of New South Wales in 1993 (at UNSW's Kensington Campus, in Sydney) and 1996 (at UNSW's Australian Defence Force Academy Campus in Canberra), respectively. Following completion of his Ph.D. he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra, Australia.
In 1997 he took up an academic position at the University of Newcastle, where he is currently a Professor and an Australian Research Council Future Fellow in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He founded, and directs, the Laboratory for Dynamics and Control of Nanosystems, a multi-million-dollar state-of-the-art research facility dedicated to the advancement of nanotechnology through innovations in systems theory, control engineering and mechatronics. From 2003 - 2010 he served as the Associate Director of Centre for Complex Dynamic Systems and Control (CDSC), an Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence.
His research has ranged across many areas including robust control theory and robust state estimation of uncertain dynamic systems, applications of control and estimation in nanoscale positioning systems for high-speed scanning probe microscopy, smart structures, active control of noise and vibration, mechatronics and applications of control in microlectromechanical systems (MEMS) and in emerging data storage systems, in which he has published over 250 articles in scientific journals and conference proceedings, as well as several books and edited volumes.
He has served on the editorial boards of a number of journals, including IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, Control Engineering Practice and International Journal of Control, Automation and Systems. He has contributed to the organization of and has chaired several international conferences and workshops. His research has been recognized by a number of international awards, including: IFAC Nathaniel B. Nichols Medal (2014), IFAC Mechatronic Systems Award (2013), IEEE Control Systems Technology Award (2009) and IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology Outstanding Paper Award (2007). He is a Fellow of IEEE, a Fellow of IFAC and a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK).

Research expertise
My main field of expertise is dynamics and control. My theoretical research interests encompass many aspects of robust control and estimation of uncertain dynamic systems, and modelling, identification and control of highly resonant systems. I have also been pursuing applications of the above theories in areas such as mechatronic systems, micro- and nano-systems and smart structures. This aspect of my research has involved a substantial experimental component in my laboratory for dynamics and control of nano-systems. I have also had extensive collaborations with industry (IBM Zurich Research Labs) and Government research organizations (DSTO). Recent research efforts have involved applying advanced control and signal processing methodologies to increase precision and operational bandwidth of scanning probe microscopes.
