I lead one of the world’s top research teams in STEP-compliant design and manufacturing with my work spanning across Industry 4.0, advanced CAD/CAM/CNC, and smart manufacturing systems.
Did you know…
I’m based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland
Over the years, I’ve held various positions, from Lecturer to Professor, and taught a range of courses, including mechanical engineering design and Industry 4.0.
I joined the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering at The University of Auckland in 1996 after earning my Ph.D. from the University of Manchester, UK.
My research focuses on computer-aided design, smart manufacturing, and Industry 4.0.
I established Aotearoa New Zealand’s first Industry 4.0 laboratory and lead a globally recognised research team in STEP-compliant design and manufacturing.
I’m honored to hold Fellowships in both ASME and Engineering New Zealand, and to have been recognised as a “Highly Cited Researcher” and placed among the “World’s Top 2% Scientists” by Stanford University. Additionally, I’ve received multiple prestigious awards, including the RCIM Best Paper Awards in 2018 and 2021. To further advance education in this cutting-edge field, I also developed a course on “Industry 4.0 Smart Manufacturing.”

Join us as we chat with Xun Xu on his mahi in the Ngākopa Construction 4.0 Data Connectivity and Standardisation theme he leads.
Michelle Mahoney and Fraser Longmuir at University of Auckland awarded for heavy engineering related project.
This Wānanga was an opportunity for the research team to get together with the Co-Chairs of the IAG.
In the data connectivity standardisation theme we’re working to develop protocols for data management.
Just recently we had our kick-off meeting with the Construction 4.0 team at HERA House – joined by many of our team.
HERA has been successful in the 2022 round of funding for a four-year Construction 4.0 research project.
