Dr. Anna Lidfors Lindqvist is a Lecturer at the School of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where she specializes in vehicle dynamics, control systems, and engineering education innovation. She holds a PhD from UTS (2018-2022) focused on vehicle dynamics and solar-electric vehicles, and is fluent in Swedish. Since December 2022, she has served as a full-time lecturer, previously contributing as a Curriculum Developer (2021-2023) where she redesigned engineering programs and integrated sustainable principles into curricula. Her research bridges mechanical engineering and pedagogical innovation, with dual focuses on: Net-zero technologies: Developing stability control systems for solar-electric vehicles, vibration analysis in transportation, and lightweight vehicle dynamics under variable loads Educational reform: Creating AI-integrated project frameworks (PAIIF), implementing formative sprints for feedback, and designing authentic assessment methods like threshold exams Publication analysis reveals consistent themes in vehicle control systems (SMC/MPC applications) and transformative engineering education frameworks, with recent expansion into AI-driven curriculum design. Awards & Honors: Citation for Outstanding Early Career Contribution to Engineering Education (2024) UTS Vice-Chancellor’s Early Career Teaching Award (2023) AAEE Academy Fellowship (2023) IEEE VTS NSW Research Contest prizes (2021) Higher Degree Research Excellence Award (2019) She coordinates the Mechanical Design Fundamentals Studio 1 course using Agile-inspired sprints, supervises Capstone students, and secured the 'UTS Wool Bioharvesting' grant (2024-2027). Previously managed the Australian Technology Network Solar Car team.
