Director's Welcome
IRIS, located at Swinburne for some 15 years, has a long-standing and respected standing within the manufacturing sector of Australia. Our core area of interest is defined as 'Surface Science and Interface Engineering' and this is structured within R&D Portfolios that are managed by senior staff.
Our Mission is encapsulated in the statement 'Providing innovative manufacturing research and education to individuals, industry, and government organizations.' But, IRIS is much more than this: for example, we are the nexus of 4 ARC Cooperation Research Centres, we champion a Masters in Advanced Manufacturing Technology program and we have extensive professional networks around the world.
A web site can only drill down so far into the capabilities of an organisation. Therefore, I encourage you to contact me with your needs so that we can explore collaborative opportunities.

The overarching theme of all IRIS activities relates to the science of surfaces and interfaces, based on a knowledge-intensive facility that is internationally competitive in surface engineering. The innovation lies in the creation of novel surfaces that can be modified at an atomic level, with the objective of developing new properties and hence new functionalities for advanced applications.
