Research

The School of Engineering encompasses a wide range of high-quality research activities, covering all major disciplines in the field. Research is organised in a matrix structure:

  • Three cross-cutting research themes; Energy, Biomedical Engineering and Sustainable Cities facilitate multidisciplinary research across research groups and are coordinated by a Research Theme Leader.
  • Seven research groups of Electrical Power, Thermofluids, Chemical, Systems Modelling & Measurement, Sensors & Devices, Communications & Signal Processing, and Civil provide core expertise in specific engineering domains.
  • Every academic is assigned to a research group and contributes to one or more research theme.
