Montserrat Ros is an Associate Professor and Associate Dean (Education) at the School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences at the University of Wollongong, Australia. She has been with the university since 2006, initially joining as a Lecturer in Computer Engineering and progressing to her current senior academic and leadership roles. Her educational background includes: B.E.(Hons1)/B.Sc. double degree majoring in Computer Systems Engineering and Mathematics from the University of Queensland (2000) Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Queensland (2007) Professor Ros's research focuses on the intersection of embedded computing systems and practical engineering applications. Her work spans several key areas including embedded systems design, sensor network data fusion, cyber-physical systems development, and innovative approaches to engineering education. She has particular expertise in sensor-based localization techniques, computer architecture optimization, and code compression methodologies for resource-constrained environments. More recently, her research has expanded into machine learning applications for constrained systems and Internet of Things implementations. Analysis of her recent publication record reveals a strong emphasis on Internet of Things networks, UAV-based systems, and applications of artificial intelligence in both engineering education and manufacturing processes. Her work demonstrates a consistent pattern of bridging theoretical computer engineering concepts with practical real-world applications across diverse domains including healthcare, environmental monitoring, and industrial automation. Her significant contributions to academia have been recognized through numerous prestigious awards: 2019: AAUT Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning 2018: IEEE TALE 2018 Meritorious Service Award 2018: Featured in UOW Leadership in Education Booklet 2017: UOW Vice Chancellor's Award for Outstanding Contribution to Teaching and Learning 2016: UOW Women of Impact for inspiring young women in STEM 2015: UOW Vice Chancellor's Interdisciplinary Research Excellence Award 2012 & 2007: UOW Vice Chancellor's Awards for Teaching Excellence 2011: UOW Vice Chancellor's Award for Community Engagement Senior Fellow of WATTLE (Wollongong Academy for Tertiary Teaching & Learning Excellence) Professor Ros has secured substantial research funding across multiple projects spanning from 2006 to the present. Her grant portfolio demonstrates a consistent focus on engineering education innovation, sensor network development, and practical applications of embedded systems. Notable projects include "The AI Tutor: Enabling 24x7 student support across engineering" (2024), "AI/IoT-powered Airborne System for Monitoring Water Level and Tidal Floods" (2023), and "Smart Eye: Airborne and AI-Driven Assessment Solution of Sugarcane" (2022). She actively supervises HDR students and has completed multiple successful candidatures. Her leadership extends beyond research and teaching, as evidenced by her role as Associate Dean (Education) for the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences. She is also actively involved in community engagement through volunteering with the State Emergency Service (Wollongong SES) and Athletics Wollongong Club.
