Our people
Our staff lead projects that deliver real-world impact and help shape the future.
Our research
Our researchers develop new technologies and processes to address sustainability and improve the quality of human health and the environment. We collaborate with industry to advance knowledge and translate solutions in energy generation and storage, advanced manufacturing, food processing, bioproducts, infrastructure management, decarbonisation, biomedical technologies and clinical practice.
Centre for Biomedical Technologies
We discover, develop and deliver the next frontier of biomedical technologies for better patient treatment and quality of life. We partner with clinicians to identify unmet clinical needs and develop innovative devices and therapies to improved outcomes for patients with conditions including musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic wounds, and more.
Centre for Energy Transition
The centre addresses key challenges in the development and adoption of renewable energy technologies. Our research focuses on securing critical mineral resources essential for energy generation and storage, energy security and resilience, grid digitisation and scaling, and policy development.
Centre for Materials Science
Focusing on the innovation and translation of scientific material discoveries to transformative technologies, the centre aims to invent, design and optimise materials from soft and condensed matter and to develop comprehensive pathways towards controlling and tuning materials properties and function.
Explore the centreCentre for Agriculture and the Bioeconomy
Our research is enabling farmers to grow more food with less resources, developing crops that are more nutritious and resistant to drought and pests, and discovering innovative ways to make renewable fuels, chemicals and other products from agricultural wastes.
