Dr Matthias Weiss, Dr Buddhika Abeyrathna and Dr Thomas Dorin were successful in the recent Australia-Germany Joint Research Cooperation Scheme.

Their project on Laser heat assisted roll forming of new high strength Aluminium alloys for weight reduction in transport receives funding of $12,500 for Deakin University to enable visits to Germany with similar funding for their partner, the Technical University Darmstadt to enable researchers to visit Australia.
