Innovating energy materials through atomic scale simulations.
The central aim of our research is to discover the degradation mechanisms of materials used in energy applications, to aid the design of new materials with improved resilience to degradation processes.
Our portfolio includes nuclear fusion, fission, solar cells, solid oxide fuel cells, electrochemical capacitor and batteries.

ARC industry-fellowship
The Australian Research Council, together with the companies HB-11 Energy and Tokamak Energy, have invested $1,500,000 on a Fellowship for Dr Patrick Burr for ‘Life prediction and optimisation of advanced first-wall fusion materials’. The project focuses on accelerating the development of radiation-tolerant materials for fusion energy. Read the announcement from UNSW and from Australian Manufacturing.
