معرفی
Dr. William Robertson is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Adelaide, specializing in electromagnetics and biomechanics. His research focuses on advancing magnetic levitation (maglev) systems for vibration isolation, wave energy conversion, and actuator design through the AUMAG research group. He is a proponent of open science, emphasizing tool and data sharing. His work integrates fundamental physics with applied engineering solutions.
Key research areas include magnetic force modeling, quasi-zero stiffness mechanisms, and biomechanical gait analysis. He supervises Honours, Masters, and PhD students, fostering innovation in both mechanical systems and human movement studies. The AUMAG group collaborates with industry on projects like maglev elevators and energy harvesting devices. His biomechanics work involves developing low-cost 3D scanning methods for musculoskeletal modeling and sports equipment optimization.
Recent projects include non-contact force measurement techniques in maglev systems and gait recognition algorithms using force platforms. His work spans interdisciplinary applications from robotics to environmental modeling, with a focus on precision engineering and data-driven methodologies.
