Structure-Property Relationships in Complex Materials
Project level: PhD
A number of projects are available in the area of predicting the macroscopic properties of materials from a knowledge of their microstructure. Depending on the background and interests of the student the projects can focus on
- Applied probabilistic modelling of material structures using Gaussian random fields Boolean processes and Voronoi tessellations. A specific project on modelling x-ray scattering from Kratky line sources is available and will tie in with new experiments being undertaken at the University of Queensland.
- Large scale computation of material properties such as conductivity elasticity and fluid transport. A specific project in modelling properties and degradation of ceramic fuel cells is available.
