People in Advanced Manufacturing and Production Systems (AMPS)


The AMPS team is made up of academic staff, post doctoral fellows and research engineers and postgraduate students. Postgraduate students undertake MPhil and PhD programs within the AMPS group. Many of of the projects undertaken are industry based in which students spend considerable amounts of time at collaborating industry partners facilities. This ensures that they tackle relevant problem in context. Such projects are backed up with more fundamental projects within the Department's laboratories.
