Deakin wins ARC LIEF funding
Deakin University has won two of the 78 Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Infrastructure Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) grants announced by Senator Kim Carr at the Deakin University Waurn Ponds campus on Wednesday 1st December 2010.
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) has noted that one of the successful projects represents the largest LIEF grant that Deakin has ever won.
$1.294 million was awarded to Professor Maria Forsyth and her team for the “Facility for in-situ nuclear magnetic resonance of advanced materials and devices”.
Professor Forsyth’s team includes: Dr Nolene Byrne, Dr Timothy J Bastow, Dr Jennifer M Pringle, Dr Adam S Best, Dr Anthony F Hollenkamp, Dr Bradley P Ladewig, Prof Huanting Wang, Prof Peter D Hodgson, Prof Junichi Kawamura, Prof Douglas R MacFarlane, Dr Anita J Hill, I Prof Ying Chen, Dr Kate M Nairn, Prof David L Officer, Dr Jia Z Wang and Prof Colin J Barrow (Deakin researchers in bold).
$430,00 was awarded to Dr Aiden Beer and his team for the “Facility for the development of new lightweight extruded alloys and structures”
Dr Beer’s team includes: Prof Matthew R Barnett, Prof Jian-Feng Nie, Dr Nicole Stanford, A/Prof Sammy L Chan, Dr Mark A Easton, A/Prof Qian Ma, Prof Cuie Wen, A/Prof Christopher H Davies and Prof Andrejs Atrens(Deakin researchers in bold).
