About Vincent Rouillard

Vincent Rouillard holds a professorship in Mechanical Engineering at Victoria University where he also leads the Engineered Packaging and Distribution Research Group. He teaches a variety of Engineering units such as Vibrations, Dynamics, Computing and Experimentation.

His main research interests deal with the measurement, analysis and simulation of non-stationary and non-Gaussian random processes. Initially, this was applied to the analysis and simulation of random (water) wave fields. More recently, his research efforts have involved the characterisation and simulation of environmental shock and vibration with particular application to transport dynamics including pavement topography and the dynamic interaction between pavements, vehicles and products during transportation.

He has published 175 research articles to date. He is an associate editor of the Journal of Packaging Technology and Science, the foundation chair of the IAPRI (International Association of Packaging Research Institutes) Working Group for Distribution Packaging, a member of the Technical Board of the International Safe Transit Association and a member of the ASTM International Committee on Packaging.

He has held visiting positions at Monash University, Cambridge University, DSTO and the Spanish Institute for Packaging, Transport & Logistics (ITENE).
