Our Research Clusters
Biomedical
The Biomedical clusters covers 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.
Computational 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.
Chemical
The research from the Chemical Engineering cluster includes catalysis, green chemistry, batteries, fuel cells and reactor engineering helping to address key problems.
Connected Systems & Sensors
This cluster combines expertise in radio, optical, and nanoscale communications with embedded systems to revolutionize infrastructure and services focusing on applications such as biomedical imaging, gas sensing, and materials inspection. As well emphasises the integration of adaptive autonomous systems, secure networks, and wireless technology to support real-time processing and connectivity across diverse industries.
Electrical Power & Control
The Electrical Power & control conducts internationally leading research and drive 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 span 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 application (from turbulent-drag reduction to explosion hazard detection)
Materials & Measurement
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,
.
Structural & Geotechnical
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.
