Dr. Sbarski has over 20 years of research and teaching experience. After his
MEng degree in Mech Eng, he worked as an engineer and researcher at National
Pipeline Institute (Moscow) in the area of welding of plastics, durability
and chemical resistance
of polymeric and composite materials. He obtained
his Ph.D(1986) degree in Development of Welding Technology
and Studying Durability of Plastic Pipes.
In Australia he started at Royal Melbourne Institute
of Technology where he obtained his Ph.D(1997) degree
in Modelling of Flow Behaviour of Suspensions and
Development of Processing of Ground Rubber Tyres
Filled Polymeric Composite Materials. He moved in
Swinburne University of Technology in 1997 where
he is currently working at IRIS as the Research Leader.
He has participated in several research programs
under CRC and industry funded research projects.
His current interests are in recycling of plastics,
development of replication, packaging and assembling
techniques for Microsystems, polymer concrete materials
for bases of scientific equipment and precise tool
machines
