Enabling platform

Our enabling platform provides the foundation for designing and manufacturing advanced materials and products by integrating expertise in fundamental phenomena, computational methods, correlative structural analysis techniques, and materials behaviour and properties. Advanced manufacturing and materials synthesis is the cornerstone of this platform and is critical in creating materials that benefit contemporary society. As shown below, our staff contribute across these five supporting areas, supported by a range of School, University, and National research facilities.

Advanced Manufacturing
Overview
Staff have expertise in a broad range of advanced processing and synthesis methods to create and manipulate materials. Their expertise spans solidification processing, thermomechanical treatments, additive manufacturing, powder processing, sol-gel processing, electrochemical techniques, biofabrication, self-assembly methods, nano- and atomic-scale thin-film deposition, and advanced lithographic methods.
