Brief description Revolutionising Brickmaking: From Traditional Practice to AI Smart Design. This project will revolutionise the brickmaking industry by integrating mineral science with machine learning to overcome persistent challenges in quality, efficiency, and sustainability. It will systematically uncover how natural mineral phases affect brick performance and develop predictive and inverse design models to optimise formulations. By moving away from traditional trial-and-error methods, the project will reduce material waste, enhance strength and durability, and cut carbon emissions. The outcomes will directly support Australian manufacturers through improved quality control and production efficiency, data-driven innovation, and more sustainable, scalable production of one of the world’s most essential construction materials.
