Biography
Dr. Rizwan Abdul Rahman Rashid completed his PhD from The University of Queensland in 2013. His work was on the laser-assisted machining of beta titanium alloys. Since then, he is working as a Research Engineer at Swinburne. He is also working with Defence Materials Technology Centre (DMTC) for the past 4 years on a number of projects, including New Manufacturing Capability, Enhanced Tooling Capability, Sustainment Capability Development and Benchmarking for Best Practices.
In his work with DMTC, Dr Rahman Rashid has engaged in welding benchmarking of maritime-grade steels with SMEs in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. He has also engaged in research activities with other DMTC industry partners such as RUAG, Seco Tools, and Sutton Tools. His work involved research activities in advanced manufacturing and repair technologies, machining of hard-to-machine materials and laser ultrasonic non-destructive testing at Swinburne.
