Professor Ian Craddock is University Lead for Digital Health which sees him leading teams of researchers that are exploring how the use of technology can be used to address health and medical problems. Projects underway include developing sensors for use in the home to diagnose and to manage health conditions, addressing heart failure through a soft robotic heart that consists of a robotic shell, using artificial muscles and sensors to enable natural motion, examining the gradual responsiveness of particular medications, and analysing patient data for better healthcare management and planning. Professor Craddock also leads on the education of medics and healthcare practitioners in the use of technology. Professor Craddock's earlier career was focused on computational electromagnetics. He developed practical, working systems for landmine detection and the world鈥檚 first clinical radar imaging system for breast cancer detection. More recently his research has broadened to include a range of technologies for pervasive health monitoring and the emergence of more data-driven healthcare and personalised health. His team has been rated top in the Health category of the World Technology Network awards.

Professor Javaan Chahl is DST Group Joint Chair of Sensor Systems and has been with UniSA since 2012. Prior to this, he served as a Professor of Aerospace at RMIT University and before that he was at the Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group, with whom he still works closely. Professor Chahl earned his Ph.D. in Neuroscience & Robotics at the Australian National University. Professor Chahl has published over 200 full length refereed articles and has been referenced by other researchers more than 5,000 times. His research provides ample evidence of his breadth of expertise including avionics for drones, medical technology, space exploration, neuroscience, and behavioural biology. High points of his career have included working with NASA Ames developing Mars exploration technology and supporting his military colleagues. His research is multidisciplinary, collaborative and encompasses both theory and application. As a Research Degree Supervisor, Professor Chahl is highly sought after as a supervisor and mentor and is responsible for a large and diverse group of graduate students. His research students have gone on to attain senior academic and government research positions in Australia and overseas. He encourages collaboration, communication, with a focus on innovation, new products and new applications.
