Biography summary
Prof Bernard Rolfe is the Associate Dean, Research for the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment (SEBE). SEBE has over 400 academic staff, 600 PhD students, and more than $24M per annum in external research income. Bernard aims to improve research quality and capacity, while also overseeing research policy and procedures. He aspires to make SEBE a great place to do research.
Bernard is an innovator in materials and manufacturing and an influencer in mobility engineering. He is a Director on the Board of the Society of Automotive Engineers – Australasia. Bernard’s substantive position is as a Professor of Advanced Manufacturing in the School of Engineering at Deakin University. His qualifications include a combined Economics and Engineering degree with honours in 1995 from the Australian National University (ANU). After completing his bachelor's degrees, he initially embarked on a career in business and technology consulting with Andersen Consulting before returning to the ANU to complete a PhD in Advanced Manufacturing (2002). He joined Deakin as post-doctoral fellow in 2002 and then became a lecturer in 2005. Bernard’s research group has spent the past two decades working on the use of advanced metals in sheet forming primarily for the automotive sector.
In 2021 Bernard was the leader for the unsuccessful Regional Advanced Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre bid, which consisted of 63 partners (85% are SMEs), $36M in committed funds over 7 years, $38M in requested funds from the Dept of Industry, and $150M in total project value. His current research focus is the design and forming of lightweight structures. He is also investigating design techniques for production and repairing of parts using additive manufacturing. Bernard has received four Vice Chancellor awards and has been part of over fifteen successful nationally competitive large research grants, totalling over AUD $30 million in awarded funds. He has published over 190 refereed research articles.
