This project will be undertaken in the Materials Modelling and Simulation group and capitalise on the collaborative and multidisciplinary research environment within the Discipline of Materials, Manufacturing, and Mechatronics at the School of Engineering at RMIT. It will benefit from collaborations with with other high-calibre experimental research groups. Excellent development opportunities will be available to the candidates via professional networks based at RMIT and nationally. It will provide an opportunity for two HDR candidates to develop various skills (e.g., coding within a HPC environment, data analysis) that are valued both within academia and industry.

There are two main research streams within this project:
