University Research Centres
Bulk Solids and Particulate Technologies
The Centre for Bulk Solids and Particulate Technologies (CBSPT) is actively involved in both fundamental and applied research on a range of problems associated with bulk solids and particulate technology. Research areas include storage, flow, processing and transportation of bulk solids. CBSPT also provides specialist courses for industry through its professional development programs.
Centre for Advanced Energy Integration
The Centre for Advanced Energy Integration is focused on research that integrates new energy technologies and systems related to energy storage, grid systems, energy generation and alternative energy sources.
Global Innovative Centre for Advanced Nanomaterials (GICAN)
Innovation in materials science and research to develop advanced technologies and solutions for the global energy, environment and health sectors.
International Collaborative Centre for Carbon Futures
An international research collaboration network developing innovative technologies for a sustainable carbon economy.
Ironmaking Materials Research
The Centre for Ironmaking Materials Research (CIMR) is a partnership between NIER and BHP Billiton, aimed at defining the link between fundamental iron ore and metallurgical coal properties and their performance in the ironmaking process.
Multiphase Processes
The Centre for Multiphase Processes conducts research in the science and technology of fine particles and bubbles. Multiphase processes, which involve more than one phase of matter, form the basis for all Australian process industries including food, energy, agricultural, production and processing.
Faculty groups
Environmental Engineering
Engineers are developing new innovative computer and other models to provide methods of assessment of environmental impacts and management of disturbed ecosystems.
Environmental Plastic Innovation Cluster
EPIC conducts cutting-edge research on the risk assessment of legacy plastics and plastic-alternate products. Our vision is to ensure that plastic-alternative materials are environmentally sustainable and safe, leading to better planetary health.
Hydrogen Technology and Materials
