University of South Australia
Rong Xu is a recent graduate of the Bachelor of Applied Mathematics at the University of South Australia. Her research interests centre on the fields of optimal control and energy-efficient systems, where she endeavours to integrate rigorous mathematical theory with practical applications and operational constraints.
She is experienced in establishing optimisation and simulation workflows for real-world engineering challenges. For the World Solar Challenge, she and her team developed a software for the Adelaide University Solar Racing Team (AUSRT) to deliver optimal driving strategies, whilst also enabling the team to visualise the sensitivity of future vehicle design parameters. She is passionate about collaborative, open research practices and actively engages in student research activities.
She previously participated in the University’s Vacation Research Scholarship programme, undertaking research into optimal control strategies for reducing peak electricity costs through the utilisation of renewable energy sources.
