Our brand-new 3D Additive website has gone live! 3D Additive is a collaboration between our group and researchers at the University of Sydney on the role of interfaces during 3D printing, in the framework of the AUSMURI program. Please visit here.

Engineering microstructures enjoyed a joint Christmas party with friends and collaborators from The University of Sydney. We had an Aussie BBQ on a nice sunny day in Ewen Park, and a good combination of soccer/footy/cricket activities!

Congratulations to Carina Ledermueller for submitting her PhD thesis! Great work and very well done! Carina’s PhD was on thermo-mechanical processing of HSLA steels, check out some of her papers on our publications page.

Prof. Chris Berndt, a distinguished professor at Swinburne University of Technology gave a talk on ‘Nanostructured Thermal Barrier Coatings: Challenges and Opportunities’ in our school. We enjoyed a special group meeting in the afternoon where our junior researcher had an opportunity to pitch their projects.

Congratulations to Felix Theska for submitting his PhD thesis! His thesis was on advanced characterisation of INC718. Great job, Felix, and looking forward to your new research endeavours with industry and aerospace alloys as our second postdoctoral researcher.
