Tayab Din Memon

Tayab Din Memon serves as Senior Lecturer and Senior Learning Facilitator at Torrens University Australia's Design and Creative Technology school, where he leads initiatives in the Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Optimisation (AIRO). With over 15 years of academic experience spanning teaching, research, and management, he actively supervises PhD candidates in AI-driven sustainable infrastructure and education technology projects.

Education

• PhD in Computer Engineering from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (awarded July 16, 2012)

Research Focus

Dr. Memon's work bridges technical AI systems and educational innovation, with core expertise in machine learning for fault detection in railway infrastructure and generative AI applications in learning analytics. His signal processing research targets FPGA/SoC implementations for sustainable engineering solutions, while his education technology work pioneers student-teacher-GenAI interaction frameworks using Bloom's Taxonomy to enhance engagement and retention. Current projects include AI-powered condition monitoring systems and flipped learning reimagined through AI collaboration.

Research Trends

Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications reveals two converging streams: (1) AI in Education focusing on generative AI's role in future pedagogy through collaborative teacher-GenAI models, and (2) Embedded Systems Engineering developing sigma-delta modulation techniques for railway monitoring and image processing. Both streams emphasize sustainable infrastructure solutions and real-world hardware implementation on FPGA platforms.

Academic Leadership

As former Head of Electronic Engineering Department (implementing Washington Accord standards), Dr. Memon has coordinated online curricula using flipped learning pedagogy and served as Co-Principal Investigator for the Haptics, Human-Robotics, and Condition Monitoring System Lab under Pakistan's National Center of Robotics and Automation. His current grants focus on AI-driven sustainable infrastructure and educational technology innovation.

Research Environment

He leads the Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Optimisation (AIRO) at Torrens University, directing interdisciplinary teams that combine robotics, haptics, and machine learning. Previously, he spearheaded the 11-lab NCRA consortium developing condition monitoring solutions for railway wheelsets and track surfaces, with ongoing work extending to three-phase induction motors and wireless communication systems.
