OPSITARA Research
This past month our Research and Postgraduate team has been able to continue providing research support services from home, however staff and student research has been affected by the lockdown. Some research projects are being pivoted to alternative ways of working and also to inform our understanding of what we are living through, and essential design and prototyping of protective equipment has been undertaken in our workshop facility EPICentre.
In the meantime we will continue to bring you stories of research conducted earlier, but as time goes on it's likely you'll notice that COVID-19 becomes a recurring theme as our research seeks to remain relevant to our society.
Be kind and stay safe.
