Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis

Research activities in the CMCA are highly variable and reflect the diverse nature of CMCA staff. Academic staff often have major collaborative roles in research projects across many schools and centres, at both UWA and other major Universities.

Students whose projects involve significant use of CMCA facilities are encouraged to consider formal co-supervision by a relevant CMCA academic. A list of postgraduate research opportunites available in association with CMCA can be found here.
