Civil Engineering Heritage and Future
Using modern techniques to understand existing engineering achievements both ancient and recent, and using this understanding to determine how we create, sustain and value civil engineering infrastructure for the future.
Discover moreEngineering Materials Mechanics Group
The Engineering Materials and Mechanics Group provides multi-disciplinary approaches to explore excellent scientific understandings and innovate future engineering technologies.
Discover moreFluid and Thermal Engineering
The Fluids and Thermal Engineering Group uses advanced experimental facilities alongside computational modelling to engage in a broad range of research activities in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer and combustion.
Discover moreAdvanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT)
Working in close collaboration with regional and international partners, the Advanced Manufacturing Technology research is developing the next generation of cutting-edge manufacturing technologies and processes, as well as improving manufacturing systems, organisation and sustainability.
Discover moreRenewable Energy Technologies and Materials
With over half of all energy consumption and carbon emissions occurring within building envelopes, our research interests are focused on the development and improvements of the means for providing low carbon and renewable energy for electricity, heating and air conditioning.
Discover moreSmart Materials & Surfaces Laboratory (SMSL)
Smart materials and surfaces are ones designed with particular properties and whose properties can be changed by external forces or interfacial interactions. Our research includes investigations into how surfaces can shape liquids, reduce drag and how forces can manipulate droplets or liquid films.
