Our Research Clusters
Biomedical & Biotechnology
The Biomedical clusters cover problems in fundamental research of humans, human systems and healthcare. Interspersed with various applied projects around the design, development and deployment of assistive technologies and rehabilitation techniques.
Predictive Modelling
This area involves using mathematical models and simulations to analyse complex systems across fields. Key applications of modelling include material science, computational chemistry, quantum devices, nanotechnology and energy conservation and generation.
Electrical Power & Control
The Electrical Power & Control conducts internationally leading research and drives for cutting-edge technology development in tackling the great challenges in power generation, energy conversion, distribution, transmission and efficient use of energy.
Fluids & Thermal
The diverse range of fluid flows in nature and technology spans scales (from atmospheric to the nanoscale), phenomena (from cavitation to combustion), constituents (from granular to rarefied), biology (from pulmonary air to microvascular blood) and engineering applications (from turbulent-drag reduction to explosion hazard detection)
Measurement, Devices & Materials
Materials is one of our fastest-growing areas of research. Here we focus on a wide range of applications, including photovoltaics, batteries, optoelectronics, power electronics, and modulation of terahertz radiation. As well, precision in measurements plays a fundamental role in all areas.
Built Environment & Sustainability
Our researchers work on a broad range of issues underpinning the construction and environmental sectors at both national and international levels. Combining computational modelling with practical experimentation, we tackle issues directly associated with the many challenges posed by the Climate Emergency and linked to UN Sustainable Development Goals.
