Ruby Wiese

Ruby Wiese is a Casual Teaching (part-time Lecturer) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the School of Engineering, The University of Western Australia (UWA). She holds a Doctor of Philosophy from the UWA School of Agriculture and Environment. Her research focuses on sustainable agricultural technologies, particularly seed harvesting methods for crops like subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum). She contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to sustainable agriculture and environmental protection.

Her work emphasizes developing cost-effective and eco-friendly harvesting techniques. A key publication explores swathing as an alternative to vacuum seed harvesting, published in Crop & Pasture Science (2025). She leads a collaborative dataset on this research, available via UWA.

Wiese is an investigator on the AgriFutures Australia-funded project 'Building new technologies for sustainable and profitable sub clover seed harvesting' (2022–2024), focusing on innovation in agricultural machinery and crop management. While no formal awards are listed, her contributions to sustainable agricultural practices highlight her impactful research.

Her expertise spans seed quality, soil moisture dynamics, and crop physiology, with a focus on practical applications in mechanized agriculture. She collaborates with interdisciplinary teams across engineering and environmental science domains.
