PhD candidate Alain Moriana outlines his research at the DMTC Students Conference
The focus of the Conference is to give PhD and Masters candidates the opportunity to professionally present on the progress and conclusions of their research work to their peers and to continue to develop their presentation and communication skills.
Students came from across Australia to present their work and talk research with the next generation of R&D scientists and engineers.
Students presented to representatives from industry and Defence.
Students coming to the end of their PhD study were encouraged to consider that milestone as only the “end of the beginning” in relation to advancing in their research careers in the defence sector.
The program and abstracts for the 2018 DMTC Student Conference to be held on 9 October in Melbourne are now available.
The event is held in conjunction with our partners Defence Science Institute (DSI) and the Research Training Centre for Naval Design & Manufacturing (RTCNDM) at the Australian Maritime College.
The conference is designed to give PhD and Masters candidates the opportunity to professionally present their work to peers. It is a great opportunity to network with other PhD candidates in the Defence sector. Question and answer sessions follow each presentation and we encourage industry participants and supervisors to attend and ask questions of the students.
The DMTC Welding Capability for Defence Platforms Workshop was conducted on 25 September in Rockhampton.
Attendees at the DMTC workshop were particularly interested in the scale of potential opportunities to bring their significant experience and welding skills from the resources sector to bear in Defence projects.
Supported by Defence Industries Queensland, this first workshop covered a number of topics including the latest technology in automated welding and welding applications in Defence platforms.
Attendees at the workshop included key regional SMEs including Berg Engineering, Adnought, Monadel, Craig Harney and Moloney & Sons Engineering.
The activity is one of the workshops made possible by the Queensland Government’s commitment of funding for DMTC’s Industry Capability Development Program.
