Niche area of FMIA CoRe is Industrial Technology. Industrial technology covers eight (8) research clusters including Transportation & mobility, Chemical & advanced materials, Advanced manufacturing & Automation, Industrial engineering, Design, modelling, software & simulation, Industrial & Operation management, Statistics, marketing & Business, and Art & architecture. Research Interest Groups (RIG) are formed based on these research clusters. Research trust of each RIG may include theoretical, experimental,characterisation, simulation, maintenance, design or fabrication studies of materials and its relation to real industrial applications and sectors. Research on engineering and functional materials in macro-, micro- and nano-scale science are conducted and aligned with advanced technology applied and used in various industries such as automotive, robotics, automation, manufacturing, construction, defense, marine, aviation, agrotechnology, food, sports, textile, oil and gas, chemical and petroleum, dentistry and surgical, processing and packaging, biomaterials and biotechnology, etc. In addition, research on analysis, statistics, economic growth, marketing and management are also important and need to be focused in future.
