Info

The aim of this workshop was to bring together researchers interested in both the application and development of methods for characterizing nanoscale mechanical and tribological properties of materials from across Australia. There was also a strong focus on enabling researchers new to the field of nanoindentation, particularly graduate students and early career researchers, to network with more established researchers in the area. The workshop started on Sunday 18th March with a welcoming BBQ dinner before an evening users meeting run by Hysitron and Coherent Scientific (co-sponsors of the workshop). All participants were invited to this session with the aim of creating an informal network of Australian Hysitron users. The formal presentations were commenced by Prof Mike Swain (University of Otago/University of Sydney) who needed little introduction having worked in the field of nanoindentation and mechanical properties for the past 35 years and who has authored a great many of the seminal papers in the area. Many students commented the workshop was a great opportunity to talk to Prof Swain about their work in an informal setting. The next session of the day consisted of presentations by both ECRs and students on biological applications, a topic that has clearly grown in interest since the last workshop 2 years ago. After lunch there were a series of more general talks from company representatives and experienced researchers before an open panel discussion hosted by Dr Jodie Bradby and Dr Naoki Fujisawa (ANU). This white-board discussion covered a range of fundamental and practical topics important to the field of nanoindentation and the aim was to use the experience in the room to address a range of common user issues and concerns. The evening saw all 48 workshop participants travel to the nearby town of Mollymook for dinner at a local restaurant. The first presentation on the following (and final day) of the workshop was an invited contribution by Prof Gerold Schneider (Hamburg University of Technology). Following this talk were a further 9 oral presentations from students and ECRs. Student prizes were awarded at the final lunch of the workshop. Participation: We were very pleased to note that the response to the workshop was well within our expectations. We were aiming for ~50 participants and the final number was 48; 21 students, 7 ECRs, 13 career researchers, 4 industry representatives. We also had 3 accompanying persons (2 partners and one child). The participants represented a wide range of institutions including 8 different universities across Australia (ANU, Deakin, Monash, Uni of Melb, Uni of Syd, UNSW, Uni of Queensland and James Cook Uni). In addition we had participants from NZ, the USA and Germany. Two companies doing research involving nanoindentation (Ventracor and WRiota) and representatives from two nanoindentation companies (Hysitron and Micro-Materials) attended. 89
Student Participation As outlined above 21 students participated in the workshop. Of these 10 students presented their work in an oral presentation. The standard of contributions from the students was impressive making it hard to choose a winner of for the Student Award. After much deliberation the judges (Prof Mike Swain and Prof Gerold Schneider) decided on awarding prizes to Mr Chris He from The University of Sydney and Mr David Oliver from The Australian National University. Both received $300 and a framed certificate knowledging their achievement. Prof Schneider with the student prize winners 7 ECRs attended the workshop and 3 presented their work Plot showing breakdown of participation. 90
