Institute for Nanoengineering Research

The proposed research institute will:

Establish an interdisciplinary institute for knowledge and skill interchange among university researchers working in all aspects of nanotechnology and advanced materials;
Provide enabling infrastructure for fundamental and applied multidisciplinary nanomaterials research in engineering and the sciences;
Enable and facilitate access to state-of-the-art research instrumentation by university researchers and industrial collaborators;
Provide efficient and centralised management of a major research infrastructure;
Offer consultancy services and advice in technology development and solving complex industrial problems;
Enhance skill training and research opportunities for undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers; and
Facilitate knowledge transfer between academia and industry/business to promote and commercialise innovation through patent and other inventions.
