Teaching interests
Supervisor interests
Smart Materials, Active Vibration Control and Artificial Intelligence Applications.
Professor John is mainly involved in teaching, research and administrative duties. He currently lectures in Smart Materials and processes and Strategic Manufacturing Planning in the School of Engineering.
He has published over 155 papers in refereed conferences, journals and research books and has contributed to a mainstream university text. He is currently contributing to a book on embedded intelligence in structures.
He also serves on the University research training sub-committee, the Expert Panel of the University appeals committee and is a member of the School’s research committee.
He is an Oz-reader for the Engineering and Environmental Sciences panel of the Australian Research Council (ARC).
He sits on the editorial board of the Open Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering Journal.
He is currently active on numerous funded research projects in the fields of smart materials, embedded communication devices and structural health monitoring funded by the ARC and the Cooperative Research Centre – Advanced Composite Structures (CRC-ACS).
He is a reviewer of several international journal publications, such as Composites B journal and the Composites Engineering Journal of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, UK.

Research
Professor Sabu John has over 155 published articles in journals and peer-reviewed conferences (6 book chapters (1 in print), 35 Journal articles and 120+ referred conference and other articles in the fields mentioned below) and has been involved in 3 patents, including the invention of the patented world’s first cricket bat with active vibration control.
His research interests include advanced composite materials, vibration control in smart structures, embedded communication devices in composite structures, and structural health monitoring of structures.
He has also undertaken work on signal processing and pattern recognition through artificial neural networks applied to feature detection in medicine and damage detection in large static and dynamic structures. He has worked on numerous funded projects in the aforementioned areas worth over A$3.25M.
Media involvement
As a result of patenting the ARC-funded world’s first Smart Cricket Bat with active vibration control in 2007 (Australian Patent number–2007901068), his work received national and international headlines in the electronic and print media. He has also commented on strategic manufacturing matters in the national media.
