Kim Harvey

Dr. Kim Harvey is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Adelaide's School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, within the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology. Specializing in Naval Engineering, they have 20 years of experience in the Maritime Defence Industry across the UK and Australia. Their research focuses on naval systems, submarine design, and maritime sustainability, with notable contributions to submarine payload technology and environmental management in maritime operations. They are actively involved in teaching courses like ENG 3004 Systems Engineering, MECH ENG 7042 Submarine Design, and MECH ENG 7081 Naval Nuclear Propulsion.

Dr. Harvey's work includes collaborations with industry partners through initiatives like the Shipbuilding Hub for Integrated Engineering and the Australian Research & Experimental Submarine (ARES) project, which explores submarine design in Industry 4.0 environments. They are eligible to supervise Masters and PhD students, with current co-supervision of Ms. Jacolyn Marjorie Pratt's research on Defence Capability integration.

While no formal awards are listed, their research spans advanced naval engineering and sustainable maritime practices. Their earlier work on timber engineering and material science (e.g., bonded-in rods for structural reinforcement) demonstrates interdisciplinary strengths.
