RESEARCH INTERESTS

Professor Hodgson's research includes steel processing and the development of
new alloys, and downstream ferrous and non-ferrous manufacturing processes
associated with the automotive industry. He currently holds several ARC
Discovery and Linkage grants, all related to metal processing. In 2004 he was
made an Alfred Deakin Professor of the University for outstanding
contributions to research and awarded an ARC Federation Fellow by the
Australian Research Council. The University of Valenciennes award made him an
Honoris Doctoris Causa in 2005 for contributions to metal forming research,
while in 2006 AGH in Poland awarded him an Honorary Medal for contributions to
materials science.
