Seminar: Defence industry innovation and commercialisation
A seminar on innovation and commercialisation performance in the Australian defence industry will be held on 27 November 2009 at Swinburne University of Technology’s Hawthorn Campus.
The seminar is one of several being held by the Defence Materials Technology Centre (DMTC) as an initiative of its Education Program.
It will be presented by DMTC Research Fellow Mr Gregor Ferguson at 4pm in room EN715 in the Engineering building.
Mr Ferguson is conducting research for his PhD Thesis on ‘Factors affecting innovation and commercialisation performance in the Australian defence industry’.
For 10 years he was editor of Australian Defence Magazine (ADM), Australia’s leading monthly defence and industry title, directing and expanding its coverage of defence industry policy, acquisition and innovation. In 2004, he enrolled at the University of Adelaide’s Entrepreneurship, Commercialisation and Innovation Centre (ECIC) to undertake a PhD in Science & Technology Commercialisation, with a specific focus on defence-related innovation and commercialisation.
Mr Ferguson is DMTC’s first Fellow under the newly established DMTC Research Fellowship Program.

DMTC hosts corrosion seminar in Melbourne
A seminar on studies of corrosion with synchrotron x-rays will be held tomorrow at Swinburne University of Technology’s Hawthorn Campus in Melbourne at 4pm.
The seminar will be presented by Dr Alison Davenport, who is a Reader in Corrosion Science at the School of Metallurgy and Materials, University of Birmingham, UK in room EN101 in the Engineering building (on Thursday, 12 November 2009).
It is part of a seminar series organised by the Defence Materials Technology Centre (DMTC) as an initiative of its Education Program.
Dr Davenport obtained a BA and PhD in Metallurgy and Materials at the University of Cambridge, and then went to Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA, where she used synchrotron radiation techniques to study passive films in situ.Â
After a brief spell at the University of Manchester, she moved to Birmingham, where she pursues research in two main areas: the effect of microstructure on localised corrosion, with particular interest in aluminium alloys (including friction stir welding of aerospace and marine alloys), and synchrotron x-ray methods for the study of localised corrosion, including imaging (fast radiography and tomography), spectroscopy and diffraction, investigating stainless steel, aluminium and magnesium.
