Sep 2026 Welcome to Mr. Mewael Abraham, who joins the group as a PhD student. We wish them every success in their research journey.
Aug 2026 Congratulations to Mr. Pratham G. Shenwai on the acceptance of his paper, “Real-Time Unsupervised Object Discovery from Asynchronous Event Streams,” at the British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC) 2026.
June 2026 Congratulations to Mr. Abhi Veda and Mr. Ihtisham Babar on the acceptance of their paper, “Bees in Clutter: Observing Flight Strategies to Inspire Visually Guided Autonomous Navigation,” in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics.
May 2026 Congratulations to Dr. Tim Jakobi on the acceptance of his paper, “Threading the needle: Spatial constraints sharpen visual sensitivity in honeybees,” in Biology Letters.
Apr 2026 Congratulations to Dr. Rishabh Desai on having his paper, “Effects of object motion on visual acuity in honeybees,” accepted in the Journal of Experimental Biology.
Feb 2026 Congratulations to Dr. Shantanu Bhat on the acceptance of his paper, “Propeller blade performance in low pressure environments,” in Physics of Fluids.
The Bioengineering Lab at UNSW Canberra focuses on understanding the mechanisms that enables complex behaviors in animals such as flight and autonomy and draws inspiration from biology to solve engineering problems. Observing and modeling organisms such as insects, birds, and swimming animals, we are looking to design and create smarter engineering solutions.
We strive to conduct multi-disciplinary research that blends engineering, neuroethology, comparitive physiology, and robotics.

We are fascinated by how nature solves complex problems!
