Research Degree Supervisor

About me

Peter Murphy is the Strand Leader and David Klingberg Chair in Energy and Advanced Manufacturing within the Future Industries Institute (FII). Peter was appointed as one of UniSAs inaugural "Industry Professors" in January 2015. This was in recognition of his extensive research engagement with private industry at a local, national and international level. He joined UniSA in October 2003, initially as a member of the Ian Wark Research Institute. He was one of the first staff to join the former Mawson Institute in 2007, and has subsequently built a research group of around 25 staff and students, all funded entirely through external research grants. His research encompasses the engineering of surfaces via... Read more
