Dr Andrew Lammas

Lecturer

College of Science and Engineering

place Tonsley Building (WS4.035)
GPO Box 2100, Adelaide 5001, South Australia

Born and raised in Adelaide.

From an early age had a passion to understand machines by pulling them apart. Eventually I learned to put them back together.

After graduating in 2004 and achieving a PhD in 2012, the previous 12 years have been spent working on industry affiliated projects as a post-doctoral research associate. These projects have been varied but are summarised below.

In December 2023 I started my current position of Lecturer of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, where I continue my research finding novel applications for algorithms that I have expertise in as show below

Previous research project ahve been many and varied but can be summarised into the following research fields.

  • State Estimation
    • Localisation
    • Online and offline model estimation
    • Machine learning
    • Neural networks
  • Control
    • Actuator control
    • Model based - platform control (particularly model based trajectory algorithms)
  • Trajectory Planning
    • Obstacle avoidance
    • Underwater vehicle docking
    • Time/energy efficient planning
  • Path Planning
    • Obstacle avoidance
    • Path cost minimisation

Additionally I have worked in the area of

  • PV Solar Power generation estimation and prediction
  • Lifecycle modelling of large scale battery storage systems

In parallel to the afore mention research I had been responsible for the development of many topics and delivery of many more on top, these includes topics such as;

  • Estimation & Machine Learning
    • Bayesian Filtering
    • Kalman Filtering
    • Particle Filtering
    • Bayesian Mapping
  • Hydrostatics
    • Ship buoyancy
    • Ship stability
    • Ship safety
  • Electromagnetics
    • Electrical fields
    • Magnetic fields
    • Electromagnetic propagation
  • Electronic Circuits
    • Diodes
    • Transistors
    • Operational Amplifiers
