2023, November
Congratulations to industrial design student Jan Bekker on winning the BMW Group + QUT Design Academy Award. This is awarded to the student with academic excellence, the most innovative use of emerging technology, and professional presentation and design communication.
Phoenix: A Real-Time Bushfire Monitor is a cutting-edge attachment that seamlessly connects to the earth wires on high-voltage transmission lines, acting as an ever-watchful eye against the threat of bushfires. Phoenix not only keeps firefighters safe during their critical operations near transmission lines but also, with its real-time monitoring capabilities, provides a constant flow of information, enabling power companies to execute quick risk assessment and smart decision-making.
Massive congratulations once again, Jan! We wish you all the best for your creative career in the future.
