Dr Abbas Amini is an associate lecturer, a registered member of Western Sydney University graduate supervisory board at the School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics, and the member of Work Health and Safety Committee of the same university, Penrith Campus. Before joining the Western Sydney University, he conducted research with other Australian universities and CSIRO, as a postdoctoral research fellow at Monash University and Deakin University, and as a senior research fellow at the University of Melbourne. His fine outcomes have been presented in high impact factor journals, e.g., Nature publication group, and a recent published book in 2016. Abbas started his teaching, industrial and scientific journey from obtaining an associate’s degree in mathematics, and BSc, MSc, and PhD (from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) in mechanical engineering and nanotechnology. Since then, he has updated himself with several Australian and Canadian nationally recognized professional certificates and diplomas, e.g., FULT (Foundations of University Learning and Teaching form Western Sydney University), TAE, WHS, CNC etc. With his intense schedule, he has been extensively involved in teaching for many years in different sectors (including Western Sydney University), and worked in industry, e.g., Magna Powertrain, Toronto, Canada, as an engineer and industrial designer. Dr Amini is a member of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), an editor of more than ten journals, and a committee member of 14 international conferences to-date. In academic supervisory assignments, Abbas is supervising four PhD and two MSc graduate students, at present.
