The School of Engineering encompasses a wide range of top-quality research activities, covering all major disciplines in the field. As a fully integrated department, we are able to promote and pursue cross collaborative research on a wide-scale, and much of the work fits within key themes.
Research Groups
The School contains a number of research groups, which are made up of smaller defined labs:
-
Civil, Structural, Environmental & Sustainable Development: civil engineering structures and materials, water engineering, geotechnics, and development technology.
-
Electronics, Power and Microsystems: semiconductor devices, advanced power management systems, ultrasonic sensor techniques and electrical machines.
-
Fluid Dynamics: computational methods, flow control, cavitation, medical engineering, flow diagnostics.
-
