Industry Projects

Industry partners offer a variety of topics to interested undergraduate students. Industry-linked thesis projects require a primary industry supervisor for the topic of interest and a secondary UQ mentor (any UQ academic) to advise on research methods and assessment items. Please contact the academics below for a list of industry topics. Students are also welcome to propose their own industry partner and topic.
