Chemmat students and staffEach year the department offers approximately 70 research projects to our Part IV students. Each student conducts his/her independent research under the supervision of a staff member. Some of the projects are part of large research programmes, while some are directly requested by industry.

In addition to submitting their research reports, students are required to deliver their research presentations. They compete in two category awards:

• The SMNZI Materials category – 2018’s winners: Ellie McBurney, Suet Ying Cheng, and Nat O’Neill as 1st, 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
• The IChemE Processing category – 2018’s winners: Nadia Schroeder in 1st place, Adam Cameron in 2nd place and Christina Zhao in 3rd place.
