The College
Ian Ross Building
At the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science we conduct the research and teaching that aims to deliver solutions to some of the most pressing technological and environmental challenges that the world faces. We recruit and nurture the students and academics that will lead the way in finding the solutions to these challenges, some of which haven't even been thought of yet.
The results of our research, knowledge exchange and transfer, and the adoption or commercialisation of new technologies is what helps to drive the world economy, and contributes to a safer global society.
Profile
Dr Haley Jones
Dr Haley Jones is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering in the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science. Haley's research interests are in the area of sustainability with an avid interest in sustainable manufacturing processes. She is particularly interested in the application and modelling of the cradle-to-cradle paradigm applied to manufacturing. The cradle-to-cradle paradigm is about producing things in closed cycles, as opposed to the traditional cradle-to-grave paradigm that pervades today's industrial landscape.

Professor David Hill
Our shift towards more diverse energy sources, such as wind and solar, creates new challenges for the supply of power to our workplaces and homes - especially when you consider that supply of electricity is likely to become much more volatile. Researchers like Professor David Hill in the Systems and Control research group believe the smart grid - where multiple control points across a power network communicate with one another - will be the solution.
