Master of Philosophy (Electromaterials) | 2019
The Master of Philosophy (Electromaterials) provides unique research training providing a pathway to future PhD studies and also training for future jobs in the energy, manufacturing and health sectors. The course is a world first in the area of electromaterials. Your study will be hands-on – discovering new materials, using cutting-edge characterisation techniques and assembling new materials into electrochemical devices for applications in clean energy, health or advanced manufacturing. You’ll be working with leading, world-renowned researchers in material science through the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) which is hosted at UOW. The course is offered jointly with Deakin university in Victoria and you would carry out collaborative research with supervisors from both Institutions. You’ll choose from a range of exciting research projects – anything from medical bionics to sustainable energy generation, robotic hands to solar water splitting and the next generation of battery designs. For more information on these opportunities also see the relevant page on ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science webpage.
