ARC Centre of Excellence for Design in Light Metals

The Centre hosted its second Annual Workshop at the University of New South Wales on the 4th and 5th of December. The event was attended by over 100 delegates representing all six nodes of the Centre, partner investigators, international collaborators and industry colleagues. Key features of the workshop included the 2nd Ian Polmear Lecture presented by Professor John Humphreys from the University of Manchester and poster sessions which enabled Centre staff and students to present results of their research efforts.

It was pleasing to see the degree of cohesion that has been achieved in just two years of operation across six institutions, with participants providing much positive and constructive feedback as a result. It was especially rewarding to be able to host an important delegation from China throughout the workshop and feel comfortable that the Centre was projecting not just high quality research, but also a high degree of unity and cohesion.

Congratulations were extended to Julien da Costa Teixeira and Kaveh Kabir who respectively won Best Staff and Best Student Poster Awards for their work on ‘The effect of solute and precipitates on the work hardening of Al-Cu based alloys: development of a quantitative description of the yield strength-elongation correlation’ and ‘Structural response of hybrid sandwich panels with aluminium foam core and thin aluminium face sheets under bending loading’.
