RESEARCH
Make a real difference and solve global challenges with a PhD or masters-by-research degree. You’ ll collaborate with prominent researchers, lead pioneering investigations and broaden your career horizons.
JOIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF RESEARCH LEADERS
Pursue a research degree to expand your expertise in a world-class research environment. You’ ll connect with world-leading academics and industry partners to make a positive impact on society.
Help address the UN Sustainable Development Goals and solve issues in a stimulating, supportive environment across STEM areas such as climate change, transport congestion, water supply security, sustainable energy, artificial intelligence and robotics.
BE MENTORED BY EXPERT SUPERVISORS
Accelerate your growth with mentoring from at least two active researchers who are leaders in their field. You’ ll further your research – and deepen your impact – through expert supervision and ongoing professional development.
Our supervisors don’ t settle for the status quo. And neither will you. Together, you’ ll strive for excellence, question assumptions and help solve the greatest challenges of our age.
COLLABORATE WITH INDUSTRY
Collaboration is at the core of all our research. It’ s how we spark innovation through interdisciplinary insights and dynamic industry partnerships. At Monash, you’ ll work with industry partners and connect with leading research institutes to investigate real-world challenges.
Go hands-on in advanced facilities and network with our far-reaching community to leave a sustainable legacy for future generations.
EXPAND AND STRENGTHEN YOUR CAREER OPTIONS
With a research degree, you’ ll open doors in industry, academia and beyond. You’ ll gain diverse, in-demand and transferable skills like leadership, project management, data analytics and digital processing.
We prepare you for a rewarding career, with a mindset geared towards calculated risk-taking, entrepreneurship and ethical practice. Where you go from there is up to you.

A QUICK GLANCE AT WHAT WE’ RE WORKING ON …
IMPROVING PATIENT MOBILITY
Diseases like stroke and injuries to the spinal cord often result in reduced mobility and are reported to be among the leading causes of mobility impairments worldwide. We’ re working on an exoskeleton, called Ambulate Me, to help support the body by sending stimulation signals to the affected muscle group so that the limbs can move again.
ENABLING SAFE DRINKING WATER
A three-pronged collaboration between Monash, University of Newcastle, and Sri Lanka Institute of Nanotechnology is addressing the global water challenge. Together, our researchers are developing a portable filtration device, produced at a fraction of the cost of other similar water filters, that can be fitted into water bottles to allow those deprived of access to clean drinkable water.
REPURPOSING E-WASTE
Without e-waste recycling, natural materials used in electronic and electrical components are lost when products are discarded. Our mining and minerals engineering experts are exploring the extraction of copper from discarded printed circuit boards. We’ re also developing a Smart E-Waste Collection Box, which uses a mobile application to optimise the collection of e-waste materials.
DETECTING HARMFUL POLLUTANTS
A Monash team is working on an advanced sensor that can detect harmful environmental pollutants. The sensor will be able to function without a power supply and can be manufactured into wearables like watches, rings and belts. This invention will make an enormous difference for people living in polluted cities.
