Graduate education at RSISE

Students at the Logic Summer School

Graduate education at RSISE is focussed on research training which is at the forefront of Australian practice. We aim to blend the best features of research training from around the world supported by supervisory staff with broad international experience. A customised relationship between each higher degree candidate and a panel of three supervisors lies at the heart of our programs.

RSISE was a major player in establishing National ICT Australia (NICTA) which has a strong research training mandate. RSISE staff and NICTA researchers contribute seamlessly to the research training of RSISE students. NICTA adjunct staff contribute fifty percent of the supervising staff at RSISE.

We are looking for smart people with smart ideas to join us in a range of exciting research projects. As a graduate student at RSISE you will be part of a research school that is committed to graduate student education of the highest international standard, and you will be supervised by internationally acclaimed researchers. The School provides access to a mix of coursework, seminars, and research projects with industry. These are all designed to provide students with broad exposure to research and research training and the demands of their future careers.

If you would like to study here it is important that you contact a researcher in one of the Departments below to discuss your interests and academic qualifications before you apply.

• Researchers in the Computer Sciences Laboratory
• Researchers in the Department of Information Engineering

Dr Rajeev Goré (second right) with Honours and PhD students

The Computer Sciences Laboratory (CSL) in its current form dates from 1999. CSL has nine academic staff, fourteen adjunct staff (NICTA), four general staff, and approximately twenty-five graduate students. Student numbers are growing partly because of increased funding for PhD scholarships.

Our research expertise lies mainly in automated reasoning, planning and diagnosis, agents, and machine learning. There is plenty of scope for exciting research projects in these and related areas. Visit the research groups for further information.

Professor Richard Hartley (standing, left) with staff and PhD students

The Department of Information Engineering was formed in August 2004. It combines the former Department of Systems Engineering and the Department of Telecommunications Engineering. Information Engineering now consists of fifteen academics and nineteen adjuncts (NICTA) five general staff members, and about forty-nine graduate students. Our student cohort is growing rapidly in line with expanding research interests and increasing academic staff.

The department undertakes basic research in control systems, signal processing, computer vision and information theory as well as application driven research in areas such as image analysis, network security, robust autonomous robots, car automation and wireless communications.
