Wynita is a Lecturer with the Department of Civil Engineering, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, at Monash University. Her research interests span intelligent transportation systems and smart city applications; vehicle-in-the-loop simulation; and mathematical control theory. After receiving her Ph.D. in stability results for feedback control systems from the Australian National University, she joined the Hamilton Institute at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth as a postdoctoral research fellow; followed by University College Dublin as a research scientist. During this time, she collaborated with IBM Research – Ireland towards the development and testing of a context-aware, in-car reasoning system; and with Moxia in the development of a prototype charge wall for e-bike batteries.
