CMM is proud to announce that Dr Zhi Zhang a former PhD student from UQ Materials Engineering and CMM has been awarded the prestigious Dean’s Award for Outstanding Research Higher Degree Thesis for his research ‘Investigation of Structural Characteristics of III-V Semiconductor Nanowires Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy’.

You are all invited to our 1st User Assembly with our special guest Professor Rafal Dunin-Borkowski from the Ernst Ruska Centre, Germany and to our 'End of Year Client Party' in the afternoon.

AMMRF Technical Voucher Fund receives funding from MTPConnect’s Project Fund Program. Recognised as a big, bold idea to improve the productivity, competitiveness and innovative capacity of Australia’s medtech, biotech and pharmaceutical sector.

If you would like to receive more information or if you are interested in applying for a voucher then please contact Professor Roger Wepf on email: r.wepf@uq.edu.au or telephone: +61 7 3346 3966.

Please join us on September 28 for an exclusive workshop: At the bleeding edge of structural biology using cryo-electron microscopy. This event will be jointly presented by Thermo Fisher Scientific, the Australian Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging and the Centre for Microscopy & Microanalysis.

This event will be jointly presented by Thermo Fisher Scientific, the Australian Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging and the Centre for Microscopy & Microanalysis.

A new Ultra high resolution, Electron Beam Lithography instrument is now available at the CMM. Installed in early June, the RAITH E-Line Plus provides the essential tools required for Nano Fabrication processes and techniques at The University of Queensland.

We welcome a new Mass Spectrometry facility to CMM which is being led by Dr Brett Hamilton. This is a joint initiative between The Centre for Advanced Imaging (CAI) and CMM.

It is anticipated that this Congress will attract over 3,000 scientists working within and outside the microscopy sector. There will be a large interactive trade exhibition where leading suppliers are set to launch ground-breaking new instruments.

Two positions are currently available at CMM. Data Informatics Manager (applications close 30 April 2017) and Analytical X-ray Specialist (applications close 27 April 2017).

Next-generation steel and metal alloys are a step closer to reality, thanks to an international research project involving CMM Director, Professor Roger Wepf.

There will be a Microscopy and MyScope™ Outreach activity on 25th and 26th March presented by the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis (CMM) as part of the World Science Festival at the Queensland Museum.
