A huge congratulations to Nisar Ahmed Channa, PhD Researcher in our Human‑Robot Workforce program, who recently delivered his final PhD seminar earlier this month!
Nisar’s project has examined the organisational and workforce factors that influence the adoption of collaborative robots in manufacturing, including developing a practical framework to help companies assess readiness, guide policy, and adapt organisational practices to support successful cobot integration.
With this milestone complete, Nisar now moves into the final stages of writing and preparing his thesis for submission.
We also extend our Congratulations to some of our Associate PhD Researchers from QUT:
- Ahmed Sakr has completed his PhD
