Swinburne University of Technology
"Nano-photonics is a new area which involves the development of photonic devices in the submicro- and nano-scales. Research in this program is centered in the following areas: Photonic crystals: fabrication of new photonic crystals using photo-polymer materials; development of novel lasers and detectors using new photonic crystals, three- dimensional optical data storage method in low cost polymers (3DCD): commercialisation of 3DCD; multi-dimensional data storage with nano-particles, nanometry: imaging of quantum dots and nano-particles; single molecule detections and nano-fabrication: sub-micrometer resolution imaging and fabrication. " Swinburne welcomes international students, with a current enrolment of over 3,000 international students from over 50 countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, South America and the Middle East. The university has nanotechnology-related programs in biotech, nanomedicine, materials and micro-photonics.Biotechnology Programs and Research Swinburne offers a three-year Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology) program, as well as Double Degrees incorporating Business and Arts. These courses include the studies of bioethics, proteomics, gene therapy, genetically modified foods, bioremediation, protein engineering, immunology, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, drug and vaccine design, biomolecular arrays, stem cell therapy and bioinformatics. Swinburne also offers a range of research opportunities at Masters and PhD level for graduate students in a range of Biotechnology and Bioengineering fields.

Advanced Dielectric Piezoelectric and Ferroelectrc Materials: Synthesis, Characterisation and ApplicationsThis comprehensive volume covers the latest developments in advanced dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric materials. Divided into eight parts, it explores high strain high performance piezo- and ferroelectric single crystals, electric field-induced effects and domain engineering, morphotropic phase boundary-related phenomena, high power piezoelectric and microwave dielectric materials, nanoscale piezo- and ferroelectrics, piezo- and ferroelectric films, novel processing and materials, and novel properties of ferroelectrics and related materials. Each chapter looks at key recent research on these materials, their properties, and potential applications. Advanced Structural Materials: Properties, Design Optimization, and ApplicationsA snapshot of the central ideas used to control fracture properties of engineered structural metallic materials, Advanced Structural Materials: Properties, Design Optimization, and Applications illustrates the critical role that advanced structural metallic materials play in aerospace, biomedical, automotive, sporting goods, and other industries in the twenty-first century. The book presents an overview of the structure, properties, and applications of these materials, including the basic ideas behind their design. It contains examples and accessible language, elucidating the basic concepts that guide the development of new alloys and composite materials. With in-depth reviews from leading contributors, the text develops an understanding of the breadth and depth of advances in the field. It begins with a broad introduction to advanced structural materials, then examines materials at the frontiers of emerging applications such as biomaterials, MEMS, amorphous materials, and nanotechnology. The chapter authors are experts in their own right and they assume no prior knowledge of a given material system, delineating the fundamental concepts and applications of advanced structural materials. The rich array of carefully selected topics provides useful insights into the structure, properties, and applications of advanced structural materials. |
