Sustainable Engineered Construction Materials

Welcome to the forefront of academic research in sustainable engineered construction materials (SECM). Our primary mission revolves around exploring and advancing groundbreaking materials poised to revolutionise various domains within civil engineering. As an integral platform for a distinguished research collective comprising 12 dedicated Investigators from the academic staff of QUT\\\'s Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Science and Public Health and QUT Business School. Explore a variety of topics related to sustainable construction materials while we highlight the specific interests of these skilled investigators. Each member contributes their expertise, coming together as a collective force to drive innovation towards the ultimate goal of pioneering sustainable solutions, with a particular focus on sustainable construction materials. Furthermore, by maintaining an exclusive emphasis on sustainable construction materials, we are better equipped to achieve our mission of pioneering environmentally-friendly solutions. As internationally renowned researchers affiliated with QUT, our team stands as a beacon of excellence in the field of sustainable engineered construction materials. The extensive research featured on this platform stands as a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation.

Photonics and Mechanics of Biomedical Materials

We combine advanced experimental and computational techniques to provide a novel view into the structure-property-function relationships in a range of biomedical materials, from spider silks and nanostructured surfaces to human tissues.

Voluntary Assisted Dying and Dementia in Australia

This project will further the evidence base on voluntary assisted dying (VAD) for people with dementia and identify possible legislative models that could allow for access to VAD for people with dementia. Project findings will provide a basis for informed Australian public policy debates and law reform deliberations.

Cognitive Science

The Cognitive Science research group investigates different views of cognition to better understand how humans interact in increasingly complex information environments. The group is located within the School of Information Systems at QUT.
