Interested in engineering research at AMC?

The vision of the National Centre for Maritime Engineering and Hydrodynamics is to provide an internationally competitive experimental and theoretical maritime research ability.  We provide a suite of complementary facilities and continually develop an advanced capability with the intellectual capital in Australia for research into the performance of naval and civilian craft, fishing gear, and aquaculture sea cages.  Our customer base includes defence, maritime industry and research academia.

Our research capabilities stretch across the disciplines of fluids; fluid-structure interaction; structures; and control engineering.  Our investigative approaches include experimental techniques (such as hydrodynamic test facilities in addition to combustion and structural testing facilities); computational techniques and human-in-the-loop simulation methods.  For more information contact the facility managers or contact the director Prof Neil Bose at the following address:

Interested in engineering postgraduate research at AMC?

AMC has an active research program across the engineering disciplines of fluids, fluid-structure interaction, structures and robotics and control all within the maritime field. We have more than 25 graduate research students currently studying in the National Centre for Maritime Engineering and Hydrodynamics and want to increase this number to over 30.

We have a large array of research projects available with possibilities of being able to work within our major research facilities and collaborate with leading researchers worldwide. Academic staff in NCMEH have strong research publication track-records and we encourage our graduate research students to publish in international journals and present their research at international conferences.

Many unique research opportunities exist as a result of our collaborations with other research institutes, including the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), numerous industrial partners and with research scientists throughout the University of Tasmania.

As the Graduate Research Coordinator, Dr Jonathan Binns is the first point of contact about enrolment and candidature. There is also a Graduate student representative who represents the research students within the NCMEH.

We have a number of potential research projects available and we encourage you to contact Dr Binns to find out our specific interests and areas of expertise.
