Mr Troy LOWE
BSc (Hons 1st Class), University of Wollongong
Research Project
The work of my PhD thesis will focus on discovery of the chemical and structural composition of native metal oxide films and deposited oxide films on model samples fabricated using Al, Zn and their alloys. The surface of these samples will be engineered to have discrete and uniform features on the tens of microns scale. Characterisation of the metal surface, native oxide and deposited oxide composition will hopefully lead to a better understanding of the nature of Al-Zn alloy surfaces and the structure of deposited barrier oxides to affect processes like corrosion, biomedical compatibility and chemical compatibility with polymers.

Mr Benjamin Mueller
Diploma in Physics, Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburgi.Br. (Germany)
Research Project:
Novel carbon based nano-biostructures.
I am working mainly with Graphene, single layer sheets of sp2-bonded carbon. Graphene, like carbon nanotubes, is used in experiments in Solid State Physics on a very tiny scale (like Quantum Hall Effect and ballistic transport of “massless” electrons), as well as in Bionics and Material Sciences.
