School of Materials Science & Engineering

The School of Materials Science and Engineering has three research centers, funded by Australian Research Council (ARC) and other sources.

Centre for Sustainable Materials Research and Technology (SMaRT@UNSW)

SMaRT brings together the distinctive research capabilities of UNSW‘s academics and a track record of delivering research and technology suitable for rapid implementation. SMaRT aims to be an internationally recognised centre for the development of sustainable materials technologies.

Goals of the Centre
̶ Research, develop and implement sustainable materials technologies
̶ Enhance the sustainable development of industries
̶ Reduce environmental impact of waste and by-products
̶ Technology transfer for industry transformation.

Laboratory for Simulation and Modelling of Particular System (SIMPAS)

The laboratory led by Professor Aibing Yu, aims at understanding the mechanisms governing particulate packing and flow through rigorous simulation and modelling of the particle-particle and particle-fluid interactions at both microscopic and macroscopic levels; its application is oriented to mineral/ metallurgical/ material/chemical industries which are important to Australia and the world as well.
