Developing technologies to transform existing and develop new highly efficient, renewable and safe devices

Researchers within the Future Industries Institute aim to address the rising demand for new and novel energy systems by developing a range of materials and manufacturing processes that allow them to be engineered for domestic, commercial and portable use. Complementary to this is research effort regarding the life cycle of a product, from raw materials to a product to its eventual recycling/disposal/reuse. We do this from a fundamental research perspective and in partnership with industry for commercialisation.

Research areas include:

Refrigeration systems
Environmental, social and governance
Energy efficiency
Contamination impacts on ecology and humans

Research capabilities include:

Mineralogy and metallurgy
Phase change materials
Optical and electronic materials
Photothermal materials and systems
Betavoltaics
Materials for hydrogen
End of life considerations
Life cycle analysis
