Research Team #3

The TREMS research hub brings together leading scientists, researchers and industrial experts from nine Australian and

The hub draws from expertise across multiple disciplines including civil, chemical, materials and construction engineering, artificial intelligence, behavioural sciences, environmental procurements, policies and standards.

 

Governance  

The TREMS Hub vision is guided by an Industry Advisory Committee and a Technical Advisory Committee. The Executive Management Group oversee the daily operations.
