Interested in joining our team?
WHAT WE DO
Our group is interested in two things: 1) Uncovering the fundamental structural science behind what gives materials the properties that they exhibit and 2) using this information to make new materials with emergent properties.Β We strive to accomplish both of these interests through creative thinking coupled with the rigorous study of fundamental science. Many of our students work in very collaborative projects across campus, Australia, and beyond and work in areas including catalysis, advanced ceramic materials, biosensors, and rare earth materials.
Our team
Learn more about our crew and information to join the team.
Research
We make really interesting materials.Β Then we shoot X-rays at them to figure out how they work and how to make better materials.Β
Publications
Dissemination of new research is vital to the progress of technology.
