2024
<p><span>The Borland Research Forum, hosted annually by the Victorian Branch of the Institute of Materials Engineering, brings together the best postgraduate researchers from universities across Victoria. It showcases some of Victoria’s top PhD students, who present the highlights of their research projects. Named in honor of Dr. Doug Borland, who makes significant contributions to materials engineering education, the forum provides a platform for emerging scientists to present their research to academic peers, industry leaders, and researchers. The event highlights cutting-edge developments in materials science and engineering, with the best presenter awarded the prestigious Borland Forum prize.</span></p> Materials Australia
