To develop advanced signal processing techniques to improve sustainability in construction

Review current signal processing methods used in recycling and construction

Create new tools to enhance the performance of recycled concrete and other materials

Vivian Tam


This project, led by Western Sydney University, is testing how advanced signal processing can boost the use of recycled materials in construction. The research team has gathered experimental data on recycled concrete and is now working to fine-tune its performance using improved signal processing methods. These techniques aim to make construction more sustainable by improving material quality and performance.

Access to future research funding focused on digital tools and sustainability

Partnerships with government and industry to apply these solutions in projects

Development of new methods that could change how recycled materials are tested and used

Potential for wider research applications in other sustainability projects
