CIES 2021 Annual Report

CIES is proud to present the 2021 Annual Report noting our achievements during another challenging yet very successful year. 

The Report outlines the mission of the centre, its governance structure, and profiles our staff and their achievements. It also provides an overview of research projects, laboratories, and the publications produced by staff and students throughout 2021. 

Our team’s accomplishments during 2021 were undeniably impressive. We were active on over thirty industry and government funded research projects, secured four new highly competitive Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Projects, graduated 9 PhD students, and published 144 refereed journal papers.  

Within the Report, Professor Chongmin Song, Director of CIES, thanks 'all our staff and students who contributed so generously to the success of the Centre in the continuing pandemic, keeping our crucial laboratory research going, and maintaining that equally vital ingredient of successful research – collegiality and collaboration. 

'I would also like to express my sincere appreciation and thanks to our industry partners and advisory committee members,' he said, 'for your strong support and important contributions to the Centre.'
