Mr Fabio Otranto
Project Leader - Civil 
Bio

Completed a bachelor of Environmental Engineering from the University of Western Australia in 2004 and qualified as a civil engineer and currently practicing in this field. Has been involved with the design and management of several urban development and infrastructure projects to date.

Particularly focused on sustainable development and finding a way to implement and construct truly sustainable and smart urban development. This will involve integration of skills from various industries, such as energy, transport, planning, hydraulics, mechanical, and electrical fields. A major challenge will be breaking down the traditional barriers associated with planning, approvals, service provision, urban form and governance such that smart, ecologically friendly, socially vibrant and economically viable places can be achieved. Looking for people that share these thoughts and in order to build teams to make it happen.

Professor John Dell
Dean, Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics 
Bio

As Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics, Prof Dell has changed the profile of engineering education and research at the University of Western Australia, dramatically changing the education model and focussing the research to be more industry focussed and collaborative between disciplines.

Prof Dell joined the Faculty in 1994, after working for 10 years in industry developing technologies for optoelectronics at Telecom Research Laboratories in Australia and space radiation effects at Matra Marconi Space Systems (now EADS) in France. He was appointed Dean of the Faculty in 2010.

Prof Dell has more than 300 refereed publications. John’s work has resulted in the awarding of a number of US and Australian defence contracts. He is also a co-inventor of a number of patented device structures and fabrication technologies. He is joint winner of the inaugural DSTO/Australia Museum Eureka Prize for Outstanding Science in Support of Defence or National Security. This technology is now being developed for real-time analysis of soil properties for agriculture, as well as applications in food science, defence and medicine.

John has a strong commitment to research and teaching and believes strongly that the nexus between the two is essential, particularly in developing new ways to inspire and educate future engineers. He is particularly interested in developing leadership in students and graduates, and an understanding that solutions are not only technical but have social, economic and cultural dimensions that need to be taken into account.
