Research strengths

The School of Physics and Advanced Materials’ research focal point centred around two research institutes. They are UTS Institute for Nanoscale Technology and Micro-structural Analysis Unit.

The Institute for Nanoscale Technology (INT)

INT brings together researchers from mathematics, physics, computational science, chemistry, microscopy, biology, materials science and engineering who are excited by the science and possibilities of light and its interaction with matter. INT aim to understand, analyse, model, develop, characterise and exploit nanoscale, mesoscale and microscale materials and structures with special focus on developing useful optical and chemical functions.

Micro-Structural Analysis Unit (MAU)

MAU is a centralised modern, state-of-the-art facility that was established to facilitate high quality research and support over a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programs. It is one of four Centres of Expertise within UTS Science and is the nexus of multi-disciplinary research at UTS.
