Research Group: Engineering Materials
Our research focuses on addressing challenging needs across a broad range of engineering fields. This is underpinned by fundamental understanding and innovation in materials design, failure mechanisms, future manufacturing and characterisation of system performance. Our research is supported by state-of-the-art facilities. The principal goal of our research activities is to develop fundamental understanding of the physical processes and interactive mechanisms in materials that affect the performance of engineering systems. This understanding and knowledge is then transferred into engineering technologies through enhanced materials performance and improved designs.
