RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dr Howlett's research seeks to apply novel materials science principles,
design and methodology to the development of new electromaterials. This mainly
relates to electrochemical devices (e.g., batteries) and surface engineering
through the manipulation of passivity for application in corrosion
engineering. The materials focus of Dr Howlett's research includes ionic
liquid and plastic crystal electrolytes as well as a specific focus on the
corrosion and electrochemical properties of reactive metals such as lithium
and magnesium. His work also includes the use and development of advanced
surface characterisation techniques including synchrotron based sources. Dr
Howlett has collaborated successfully with colleagues within academia, CSIRO
and industry. He has authored over 30 publications and 2 patents, which have
been cited more than 600 times.
