The ARC hosted the 2025 Laureate Pin Ceremony, recognising recipients of the Australian & Industry Laureate Fellowships, yesterday. Pins were presented to Laureates by ARC CEO Professor Ute Roessner & Deputy Chair Prof Emerita Susan Dodds. Congrats to our 2025 Laureate Fellows 🌟

Congratulations to Associate Professor Duan on being a South Australian Mid-Career STEMM Professional of the Year finalist for the 2025 SA Science Excellence and Innovation Awards. 🏆 Get your tickets now: scienceawards.sa.gov.au/2025-celebrati…

.@Foyles is one of my favourite places when in London. I should probably be blasé about it, but I'm unbelievably chuffed to find this nugget on the engineering shelf ☺️

Great visiting Stana Zivanovic, @ci1jmb & the fantastic @v_simulators and the human-structure interaction facility @VibrationUoE. 1/3

This is obviously unserviceable, but helps us understand what happens when humans & structures couple in a dynamic system. 3/3

Today's #FellowFriday is our Vice President for Diversity, Dr Richard Sheldrake AM FTSE! We asked Dr Sheldrake what diversity means to him, how Australia can do better and what men can do to champion diversity. Check out what he had to say 👇 atse.org.au/news-and-event…

A team of @MonashUni researchers led by ATSE Fellow Prof @WHDuan FTSE have found a more durable, safe & environmentally friendly cement construction alternative using insect exoskeletons 🐜 Congrats Prof Duan! #FellowFriday Read more about the discovery: atse.org.au/news-and-event…

New discovery in animal exoskeletons leads to advances in designing construction materials sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/…

Our researchers, led by @MonashChemBioEn Professor @huantingwang, have developed a fast and efficient nanodevice to filter proton and alkaline metal ions, which will help design next-gen membranes for clean energy technology, conversion and storage. bit.ly/38HN6nt

Nature is the best model: A study led by @WHDuan @monashengineers and published in @NatureComms has shown that structural patterns on invertebrate exoskeletons can improve building materials strength and potentially reduce carbon emissions. @CosmosMagazine cosmosmagazine.com/technology/mat…

Nature is a wonderful teacher, and insects offer especially interesting lessons in lightweight, strong, and resilient design. nature.com/articles/s4146…

El exoesqueleto de los invertebrados sirve de inspiración para crear materiales más tolerantes a los daños en las construcciones y edificaciones en el futuro. ow.ly/j2VF50ICEJR

Inspired by the exoskeletons of insects, a team led by @WHDuan from @MonashCivil and Director of @ARC_Nanocomm have found a clever new way to make #cement stronger and more damage-tolerant, leading to less #construction waste and fewer carbon emissions. bit.ly/3ucu6Wl
