The University of Adelaide’s Centre for Energy Technology (www.adelaide.edu.au/cet) is world recognised for research in the areas of combustion and energy. We aim to apply our knowledge and research facilities to the area of improving combustion and cook stove design. To date, we have five honours students working in this area, but hope to expand this contribution into the future.

Our Focus
We are currently working with Engineers Without Borders on two student projects in Nepal. We also intend to expand our work into other areas and regions, primarily in the Asia-Pacific region. Since we are new to this field, we are yet to establish definitive targets –-- we would be keen to form partnerships with organisations who have specific problems that require research in the area of combustion and energy.
Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas
We primarily aim to address the focus area of ‘Improving Technology Design and Performance’, and into the future working with partners to assist with ‘Monitoring Impacts of Interventions’.
We primarily aim to provide technical support to other organisations that have expertise in market development.
Although we do not have specific experience in this area, through our scientific research, we are familiar with technology standardisation in a broad sense. We would be keen to collaborate with others to assist in the area of developing standards for cooking, heating and ventilation.
We have experience in a wide range of measurement technologies, and could readily extend these measurements to an indoor environment. Furthermore, we have successfully developed new measurement techniques, primarily in the area of laser diagnostics.
