Core research concentrations

The Mawson Institute (MI) has three core research concentrations: Surface Engineering: manufacturing technologies for surface modification and thin film coatings This concentration includes research around an ageing population (ergonomics and human factors, visualisation and spatial augmented reality).
Specific applications within this concentration include reaction modelling in environmental systems; materials research using techniques such as molecular and quantum chemical modelling; investigations into energy production and optimization processes; and mining and minerals processes.
This concentration embraces environment (new material technologies for water treatment), energy (electromaterials) and healthcare (including cell therapies and wound care).
