 English AACR2 Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules Person created 2019-01-29 human Helen Cohn updated 2025-10-14 human https://www.eoas.info/biogs/P006239b.htm person Birbilis Nick AACR2 Materials scientist Nick Birbilis is a materials engineer internationally recognised as an expert on corrosion, durability management and the behaviour of metallic elements. His research, often with industry collaboration, has resulted in significant developments in the production of corrosion-resistant ultra-lightweight 'stainless' magnesium and aluminium alloys and greater understanding of the role of microstructure in the corrosion of engineering materials. This research has potential implications for energy efficiency, pollution reduction and the manufacture of metallic biomaterials. 2001 2001 Education - Bachelor of Engineering (BE), Monash University 2004 2004 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Monash University 2010 Career position - Associate Editor, Electrochimica acta 2012 2012 Award - Vice-Chancellor's Research Award, Monash University 2012 2012 Award - H.
