‘The graduate process engineering role at Alcoa has provided me with the opportunity to use the analytical skills developed at Monash,’ Peter says.

‘I always wanted to work in industry, even before I started the Monash course,’ says Peter, who completed his PhD in 2007.

Apart from studying a range of materials-related subjects, highlights of Peter’s time at Monash included working as a research assistant during his summer vacation, using the ECAP and electron microscope facilities, and receiving an award from the Metals Club for his final-year project.
