Congratulations to our PostDoc Felix who recently accepted a role as senior technical officer for atom probe sample preparation at the Australian Centre for Microscopy & Microanalysis across the road at USyd. Felix has completed his PhD in our group (2016-2019) and done a highly successful four year PostDoc, both on Ni-based superalloys for aerospace. […]
Sophie was one of the Co-hosts of the 3rd Asia-Pacific International Conference on Additive Manufacturing held at The University Sydney, June 21-23. Almost the entire group participated either as student helpers or as delegates giving excellent presentations. Well done all and thanks for helping to make this meeting a big success. We welcomed around 350 […]
After almost four years of pursuing excellent research programs on thermo-mechanical processing of complex superalloys and additive manufacturing of 17-4 PH stainless steel, Bernd and Max have submitted their theses on May 26! Double congrats! We celebrated this enjoying Indian/British food and beer towers at The Colonial in Darlinghurst. The whole group of HDR students […]
We hosted a very special visitor on May 17, now Dr Mia Maric, who completed an outstanding Honour’s project with us in 2018 (University medal amongst numerous other awards). Since then, she has completed a PhD on nuclear materials in record time at The University of Manchester and worked as a consultant at Jacobs in […]
Warmest congratulations to our recent PhD alumnus and now PostDoc in our group Vitor who graduated on May 9. This was also the graduation ceremony for Hubert Lee who completed a first class Honours degree in our School last year. He is now our latest PhD student addition to team wrought Ni-based superalloys. Welcome Hubert! […]
Philipp Kroeker is from TU Berlin where he is pursuing a Master’s program in Materials Science & Engineering. He will be our visitor for eight months, carrying out his Master’s thesis on the microstructure-corrosion properties of additively manufactured duplex stainless steel. We took this opportunity to have after work drinks at the UNSW roundhouse. We […]
We enjoyed our first social activity in 2023 – drinks and pizza at a the Doncaster pub. This was to celebrate some of our recently accepted papers (congrats team superalloys led by Felix for their recent review paper, Bernd for his Jalcomp paper and Vitor for a Scripta Materialia letter) and Cindy’s birthday (Happy Birthday, […]
Congrats to Wilson – his MSc thesis corrections have just been approved. Wilson started with us as an Honour’s student in 2019 and stuck around for longer, pursuing research on Ni-based superalloys in Sophie’s first ARC Linkage grant. Not an easy task as his postgrad stint with us clashed with a global pandemic. Anyhow, thanks […]
A busy and successful year comes to an end soon. We celebrated this Aussie style at a lawn balls place in Randwick followed by a BBQ last weekend. Thanks to Maxwell and Nima for organising and shopping and Ehsan and many others for cooking. In 2022, we had four HDR thesis submissions (Arnab, Wilson, Richard, […]
Vitor submitted his excellent PhD thesis on aerospace Ni-based superalloys last week. This was a little bit ahead of the four year mark for Scientia PhD students (Vitor and Nana were/are in this prestigious program). Vitor was incredibly productive during his PhD despite various pandemic interruptions and spending half of 2022 abroad traveling and collaborating […]
