ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science

Funding: $12m for five years commencing 2005
Research Director: Prof GG Wallace
Administering Institution: University of Wollongong

Collaborating or Contributing Organisations:
Monash University
Bionic Ear Institute
St. Vincent's Health
NSW Department of State and Regional Development

The ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science brings together eminent scientists to develop the nano-science and nano-technology related to the movement of electric charge within and between materials. Such processes are fundamentally important to a diverse array of phenomena important in many biological and industrial processes. The exciting new developments in nanoscale materials offer the potential for groundbreaking improvements in charge generation and transfer. However, there is a general lack of understanding of these processes at the nano domain. The new ARC Centre of Excellence will study these processes, develop improved electromaterials and apply these materials in biomedicine, industrial processes, energy harvesting and energy storage.
