Enabling platform

Personalise

Our enabling platform forms the foundation for designing and manufacturing advanced materials and products, utilising a deep understanding of fundamental phenomena, computational methods, correlative structural analysis techniques, and the behaviour and properties of materials. Advanced manufacturing and materials synthesis is the cornerstone of this platform and is critical in creating materials that benefit contemporary society.

Our School researchers contribute expertise across computational modelling, advanced characterisation techniques, materials synthesis, and process development, driving innovation from materials discovery to application. They also have access to a range of School, University and National research facilities to support their research:

�鶹��madou facilities

We are a central research infrastructure unit that provides microscopy and analysis facilities to the research community of the university. If you are new to our unit and would like to use our facilities, please go to the access page to find out how to register.

The SSEAU is part of the Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre located in the Chemical Sciences Building (F10) on the Kensington Campus. We have specialised facilities for structural and elemental analysis for a wide range of research areas.

This lab focuses on vibrational spectroscopy techniques, Raman and infrared, enabling chemical characterisation and micron-scale mapping of solids, liquids and powders. The lab hosts two Raman spectrometers (one with photoluminescence capability), two FTIR spectrometers and two UV/Visible/NIR spectrophotometers.

First established as an inter-faculty operation with its first spectrometer with a superconducting magnet in 1982, this facility is now located within the purpose-built Analytical Centre, housed in the Chemical Sciences Building (F10), and equipped to an international standard with state-of-the art instruments.

�鶹��madou AI Institute

The �鶹��madou AI Institute is the new flagship �鶹��madou Research Institute in artificial intelligence (AI), data science (DS) and machine learning (ML).

�鶹��madou to Australia's leading high-performance research computing environment. It provides world-class services, such as high-performance cloud computing and petascale data, to all domains of science, government and industry.

National facilities

The Australian Synchrotron produces powerful beams of light that are used at individual experimental facilities to examine the molecular and atomic details of a wide range of materials. The advanced techniques are applied to research in many important areas including health and medical, food, environment, biotechnology, nanotechnology and energy.

The home of neutron science in Australia and a leading facility in the Asia Oceania region. It is part of an international network of organisations with neutron sources that delivers world-competitive neutron scattering science from Australian and international users.

Microscopy Australia is a national research facility that provides access to advanced microscopy and microanalysis instruments, expertise, and training for researchers across Australia.��

The National Computational Infrastructure (NCI Australia) is a high-performance computing and data services facility, located at the Australian National University (ANU). The NCI is supported by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).

ANFF is world-class, open-access national fabrication facility that assists in both the development of new products and improvements to current production methods.
