On December 8, a semi-rainy day, the team enjoyed a backyard BBQ followed by ping pong, pool billiard and charade comps to celebrate the end of a weird, difficult but never-the-less very successful year. Congrats to all group members for the outstanding efforts despite lockdowns and lab closures, very proud of you all! Evidence are […]
Ryan’s thesis corrections have been accepted on October 12, 2021. He can call himself Dr DeMott (UNSW) from now on. He is the third alumnus of this group at UNSW under Sophie’s primary supervision. Ryan has submitted an outstanding thesis with a number of first and Co-author publications (all now accepted) on complex 3D microstructures […]
AUSMURI is an investment program which encourages Australian universities to collaborate with researchers in the United States through the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) grant program, which is administered by the US Department of Defence. The team at UNSW around Sophie with talented early career researchers Nima, Max, Nana, Michael and others is collaborating with […]
Maxwell presented his poster titled ‘Microstructure Investigations of LPBF 17-4 Stainless Steel’ as a pre-recorded 3 min pitch during the HI-AM online conference on additive manufacturing. He managed to bring home the 3rd place in their Poster Presentation Competition. Well done Max (and Nima for Co-supervision). This is Max’ second presentation award during his PhD […]
After starting their theses remotely due to the global pandemic and closed borders, both Nana and Michael have now arrived in Sydney from South Korea and Tennessee, respectively. We managed to get border exemptions granted based on their skills and the importance of the AUSMURI project to the Australian economy. Both completed their mandatory two-week […]
After 3.75 years of hard work and during a global pandemic, Ryan has submitted an excellent thesis on the microstructure evolution during electron powder bed fusion of Ti-6Al-4V studied using 3D EBSD. Ryan has not only been able to provide new fundamental insights into 3D microstructure formation as a function of scanning strategies, he has […]
Congratulations to our final year PhD student Ryan Demott on accepting an offer for a PostDoc position at Sandia National Lab in New Mexico. Ryan is currently writing up his PhD thesis on 3D microstructures in electron beam powder bed fusion printed Ti-6Al-4V. He will embark on new research endeavours involving in-situ transmission electron microscopy […]
On a wet and rainy Monday (March 22), we enjoyed a group lunch at the UNSW Whitehouse followed by bowling at the Moore Park EQ Strike bowling place. This was another unlucky attempt to make up for our missed Christmas 2020 bushwalking and beach activity, again spoilt by the bad weather forecast. Carina and Arnab […]
Check out the new, completely redesigned UNSW School of Materials Science & Engineering School website: https://www.materials.unsw.edu.au Most importantly, our research is now grouped into four theme clusters & Sophie has been promoted to theme group leader of ‘Transport & Infrastructure’. The aims of these theme clusters are to promote collaboration within the school and to […]
