Welcome!
Welcome to the Infrastructure Engineering iLab platform. Infrastructure Engineering runs 6 laboratories: Structural, Concrete, Vasey, Geotech, Wet Lab and Sexton Ecohydraulics labs which support a variety of research and testing. An extensive range of advanced instrumentation is available with expert assistance provided by our professional team.
In the EEE (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) Fabrication laboratory, we have capabilities on wide ranges of thin-film depositions via both physical vapour depositions (thermal and e-beam) and chemical vapour depositions (ALD) in our PV labs, and laser and PCB fabrications.
