Ben completed his B.Sc (Applied Science) (Hons.) and B.Sci (Nanotechnology) majoring in physics at RMIT University in 2013. He has contributed to research programs in a diverse range of materials fields including magneto-polymer composites, printable conductive nano-inks, microwave measurement techniques, microwave absorption and manipulation and energy storage. He is currently working as a Multifunctional Composite Materials Scientist within the Aerospace Division at Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) conducting research relating to nanomaterials for structural energy storage and thin film electronics which can be integrated into aerospace composites.
TrainingThe Centre will provide skills and training in advanced manufacturing across the energy storage supply chain – from materials through to devices and into integrated commercial products – to facilitate the next-generation of energy storage technologies.
ResearchWorking with the industry partners, researchers will design and manufacture new energy storage devices and components, including advanced Li ion, supercapacitors and solid state Li and Na batteries, with improved rate capability, capacity and safety.
IndustryIn close collaboration with industry, the centre will build value across the sector, from developing supply chains, new devices and technologies to integrating and embedding these technologies with end-users.
