Research interests
Every object we use comprises materials of some kind. Associate Professor Gwenaelle Proust's research aims to understand the properties of these materials and how we can improve their performance, ultimately leading to energy savings and to safer, more efficient devices.
"My research focuses primarily on metals, including aluminium, steel, titanium and magnesium, and how they behave when subjected to an external load. It has applications in the automotive and aerospace industries in terms of making lighter, stronger components of land and air vehicles.
"Using lighter materials saves energy. If we can use materials that are as strong as or stronger than existing materials - for example, aluminium or magnesium rather than steel - we can provide the same required strength using less material, which will make the vehicle lighter and so require less fuel to propel it.
"I carry out experimental work in a laboratory, observing what happens within a material when a load is applied and modelling its mechanical properties. I also study how changing the microstructure of a material through the application of heat, deformation or other processes modifies its behaviour. My aim is to determine how we can improve the performance of materials.
"I like spending time in the lab, and I'm always impressed to discover the microstructure features of a new specimen. I'm really interested in understanding how things work.
"I've worked in this field since beginning my PhD in 2002, and I joined the staff of the University of Sydney in 2008. Being here gives me access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, and has allowed me to set up a lab in which to pursue my particular research interests."
