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 and Mechanics Group (EM²G)
Our aim is to develop fundamental understanding of the science behind interactive mechanisms in materials engineering, as well as nonlinear mechanics of solids and structures.
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 moreJoint Academic Development Centre on new generation biofuels for future clean energy and transport
Discover moreConstruction, Technology, Process and Management
This group engages internationally leading academics and researchers to examine contemporary and emerging industry challenges. Emphasis is placed on delivering conjoined evidence-based solutions – from theoretical concepts and methodologies, through to the delivery of innovative approaches to improve sector performance.
Discover moreBuilt Environment: Digital Futures
The digitisation of the built environment brings emerging challenges and opportunities. We address applied and theoretical research themes pertinent to digital technologies, processes and policies to improve the economic, environmental, physical and social performance of the built environment.
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.
Discover moreFaculty Education Research Group
This cross-disciplinary group supports educational and pedagogic research, ranging from small projects with an immediate impact on the student experience, through to funded collaborative projects with external partners generating high impact outputs.
