My research contributions are in processing-structure-property relationships of structural metallic materials for high performance applications, with key interests in aerospace. Currently, these materials include Ni-based superalloys, advanced steels, Ti-alloys, and refractory metals processed by conventional thermo-mechanical routes or 3D printing. I combine state-of-the-art experimental techniques such as electron microscopy, atom probe tomography and thermal analysis with mechanical testing and contemporary modelling approaches. My research philosophy is to achieve a balance between fundamental discovery and industrial application. I am excited about developing the next generation of structural metallic materials in collaboration with industrial partners.I am an editor of Journal of Materials Science, current vice chair of the TMS Phase Transformations Committee, and active member of other professional organisations such as Materials Australia.Check out 'Engineering Microstructures' (group website) and '3D Additive' for more information on my research:http://www.engineeringmicrostructures.comhttps://www.3dadditive.com.au

Associate Professor Sylvia Gustin, Head, Pain Imaging Laboratory & Director, Pain Research, Education & Management (PREM) Program at UNSW, is a senior psychologist and neuroscientist with expertise in health psychology, chronic pain, mental health, spinal cord injury, psychophysiology and brain imaging.  For the past 20 years Associate Professor Sylvia Gustin has been using brain imaging techniques and psychological assessment to investigate the central and psychological circuits underlying chronic pain and mental health in humans. She has experience in the use of many brain imaging techniques such as  magnetoencephalography and functional, structural and biochemical magnetic resonance imaging. She has practised as a psychologist focusing on the management of chronic pain. Her aim is to increase our understanding of the development and maintenance of chronic pain, in particular psychological and central components and their association with each other. Her research is funded by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), the Rebecca L. Cooper Medical Research Foundation, the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), the US Department of Defence, the NSW Defence Innovation Network and the NSW Office for Science and Medical Research (OSMR).
