At our recent Chemmat Industry Advisory Board meeting, one of the items discussed was the idea of exploring the possibility of having some Part IV projects done collaboratively with our industry friends.

Our board members were keen to explore how industry folk could co-design 4th year research projects with academic staff and also co-supervise.

We said that we would reach out to our students, staff, alumni to see if people have some good suggestions along these lines. Please send any ideas to our Head of Department, Associate Professor Ashvin Thambyah (email: ashvin.thambyah@auckland.ac.nz). Please also email him if you want to be kept informed of further developments of this idea.
