BIO

Mohammad Fard is a professor of Mechanical Engineering and Intelligent Systems at RMIT University. He leads a research team investigating advanced technology, including sound pattern recognition and sound source localisation using artificial intelligence. His team has utilised human bio-signals and artificial intelligence to create driver monitoring systems. Mohammad is also leading an industry project to develop an advanced crash simulation platform for Formula One racing track safety. Mohammad’s cross-disciplinary research team from the schools of Engineering, Health and Biomedical Sciences, and Science achieved a significant international media coverage of their research on the effects of road vibration on driver drowsiness and road safety.

Mohammad received his PhD from the Laboratory of Intelligent Control Systems, Tohoku University, Japan, in 2003. He worked at the Nissan Technical Centre on vehicle body design as a lead engineer for six years. With his international industry and academic experience, Mohammad leads a successful research team at RMIT University.
