Dr. Sebastian Oberst, University of Technology Sydney, Centre for Audio, Acoustics and Vibration, Faculty of Engineering and IT; - Dr. Oberst works as Senior Lecturer at the newly founded Centre for Audio, Acoustics and Vibration (CAAV) and is Chief Investigator on several prestigious Australian Research Council grants. In 2017 he received the highly esteemed Junior Research Prize awarded by the European Association of Structural Dynamics (EASD) in the category ‚Development of Methodologies for Structural Dynamics‘. This prize follows the JSPS Award (2016) nominated by the Australian Academy of Science and an Australia Award/Endeavour Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (Australian Government, 2015) to work at the Imperial College London/Rolls-Royce Vibration University Technology Centre. Dr. Oberst led a DFG Priority Program (SPP1897) project in Applied and Theoretical Mechanics at the Technical University Munich; prior to this he worked as Research Associate then Space Engineer (Mechanical Antenna Design, Buccaneer Risk Mitigation Mission) at the UNSW Canberra from 2011 to 2016. Dr. Oberst received his Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering from The University of New South Wales in 2011 on his research on friction-induced instabilities and specialised since then in nonlinear dynamics of friction processes, as well as nonlinear time series analysis and signal processing, as applied to biotremology and micro-vibrational communication of insects.
