Synopsis

Corrosion poses a significant threat to the longevity and safety of infrastructure across sectors such as construction, water systems, and defence. This project explores the mechanisms of different types of corrosion - including electrochemical, environmental, and microbially induced corrosion (MIC) - and their effects on structural materials. The research integrates advanced material characterisation techniques and microbial analysis to understand corrosion pathways and develop sustainable mitigation strategies. The project is ideal for students interested in infrastructure resilience, environmental engineering, and interdisciplinary research with strong industry relevance
