Apply your advanced engineering skills to industry-focused research projects and identify real-world solutions to existing and emerging chemical engineering problems.
You can select from existing applied research projects that are well supported by industry. These projects will deliver fundamental research leading to innovative new products, processes and knowledge.
Research opportunities are in the fields of rheology, advanced and functional materials, water and wastewater, energy, complex liquid flow, microfluidics, and surface science.
You will be expertly supervised while you work on a project in one of the following areas:
  • anaerobic digester hydrodynamics
  • biochemical engineering
  • biodegradable polymer nanocomposites
  • biomass utilisation and conversion
  • chaos and mixing
  • colloids science
  • corrosion and materials degradation
  • drinking water treatment
  • flow process and mixer analysis of complex fluids and multiphase mixtures
  • life cycle analysis of processes
  • microfluidics
  • nanodroplets, nanobubbles and nanocatalysts
  • polymer processing
  • rheology of polymers and sludge
  • surface science
  • water quality and wastewater treatment.

This PhD may be undertaken in a project, thesis with publication or thesis mode. Prospective candidates should discuss these modes of submission with their potential supervisor.

The minimum requirements for admission to a PhD program are:
  • a bachelor degree requiring at least four years of full-time study in a relevant discipline awarded with honours. The degree should include a research component comprised of a thesis, other research projects or research methodology courses that constitute at least 25% of a full-time academic year (or part-time equivalent). The applicant must have achieved at least a distinction average in the final year; or
  • a master degree that includes a research component comprised of at least 25% of a full-time academic year (or part-time equivalent) with an overall distinction average or a master degree without a research component with at least a high distinction average; or
  • evidence of appropriate academic qualifications and/or experience that satisfies the Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research Training and Development or nominee that the applicant has developed knowledge of the field of study or cognate field and the potential for research sufficient to undertake the proposed program.
