CENTRE FOR INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS
The Centre for Intelligent Systems (CIS) conducts outcome driven as well as theoretical research in the areas of complex intelligent systems. A particular focus is applied technologies relating to ICT and Engineering applications.
The Centre’s major research concentration is around the strong research clusters from Information and Computing Sciences and Engineering. The core research areas within CIS are:
- Computational Intelligence
- Simulation, Automation and Robotics
- Smart Networked Devices
- Clean Energy Technologies
CENTRE FOR RAILWAY ENGINEERING
The Centre for Railway Engineering (CRE) is an industry focused research centre hosted by the School of Engineering and Technology (SET) at CQUniversity located in Rockhampton.
CRE has a strong customer focus and endeavours to build robust partnerships between its researchers and the rail industry through high quality generic and commercial research, postgraduate education, innovation, development and consultancy services.
We are well known for our research expertise in train dynamics, wagon and bogie dynamics, wagon/track system dynamics, erosion control within railway corridors, simulation, instrumentation and field testing. Our physical resources include a unique laboratory that was purpose designed for full scale testing of bogies, wagons, locomotives and civil infrastructure components. These capabilities allow CRE to offer commercial research and consulting expertise in the key areas of:
- train and wagon simulation
- erosion mitigation design (rapid grass)
- heavy testing laboratory
- data acquisition services
- product development
CENTRE FOR TOURISM AND REGIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
The Centre for Tourism and Regional Opportunities (CTRO) is an entity jointly run between the School of Business and Law and the Office of Indigenous Engagement. The Centre is administered from CQUniversity’s Cairns campus.
The focus of this applied and multidisciplinary research centre is on the intersection between tourism, resource activity, and regional development. Research is organised into five thematic areas:
- tourism development
- indigenous development and cultural capital
- regional communities and growth
- natural assets and environment
- services industry innovation and work.
QUEENSLAND CENTRE FOR DOMESTIC AND FAMILY VIOLENCE RESEARCH
The centre is based in Mackay and contributes to the prevention of domestic and family violence by informing, promoting and supporting the actions of individuals, communities, services and governments through state-wide leadership in research, professional development, education and community engagement. The Centre's research function is to initiate, undertake and collaborate on innovative and interdisciplinary research and publications to reduce deficits in domestic and family violence knowledge and literature. CDFVR is also committed to undertaking applied research that supports the development of policy and practice in the field of domestic and family violence prevention with a particular, though not exclusive, focus on issues for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and rural and regional communities
