Biography:
Dr. Tom Qi is a Professor in Engineering and Design at Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand, leading a world-class research team on Human-centred Design in Engineering and Technology. He has worked extensively in the tertiary education and engineering sectors and has built up a wealth of knowledge in his research field, having published 76 QA research papers in journals, books and conference proceedings since 2003. He has also logged five patents relating to electric vehicles.
Dr. Qi and his team have worked on various sizes of electric vehicles, which can carry out parallel parking and in situ U-turns. In addition, the height of each wheel can be adjusted to keep the chassis at a constant level. His project Green Power Independent Houses in Smart Grid is to introduce a suitable power model for New Zealand with distributed power generations and distributed power users.
