Nanostructured Materials
The group has previously participated in a €1.4 million EC funded project on Nanostructured Aluminium Alloys' (Nano Al). . This 3-year project which concluded in 2003 was coordinated by the University of Oxford, and was undertaken in collaboration with seven other European participants. Significantly, this project represented a new departure for WIT in that it enabled the appointment of the first two postdoctoral researchers at the Institute.
