Biographical details

Professor Andy Dong's research addresses the central activity of engineering: the design of new products and services. He joined the University of Sydney in 2003 after completing his PhD and postdoctoral training in mechanical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. He started in the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning as a Lecturer and eventually became the Head of Discipline for the Design Lab. In 2010, he was awarded an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship. He was appointed the Warren Centre Chair for Engineering Innovation in 2012 and joined the Faculty of Engineering & Information Technologies. He is on the Editorial Board of the key journals in design research including Design Studies, Journal of Engineering Design, and Research in Engineering Design.

Research interests

Professor Andy Dong's research concerns the development of engineering design methods and support tools applicable to most, if not all, engineered products.

He is most well known for fundamental research in developing quantitative applications of natural language to perform engineering calculations and analysis. This advance has led to a range of possibilities including modeling decision-making and forecasting technological progress potential.

"Design-led innovation in engineering is a crucial focus for the future of the engineering profession and the industry as a whole."
