Welcome to our Research Group.
Collectively, our group carry out engineering research and expert consultation in designing, optimizing, and sustaining engineering materials, products, structures, system of systems performances and applications.
"Bringing inspiration and innovation to deliver integrated and sustainable engineering solutions to the community."
Our research sits within the School of Engineering and the Built Environment and embraces five key research themes. These are:
We aim to encompass multidisciplinary simulation capabilities across engineering fields as out members conduct research in product design, electronics, mechanical, biomedical, manufacture and systems engineering.
Examples of research/projects:
Within this theme, our members share cross-disciplined research and knowledge in mechanics of materials and material processes and tribology. The research activity focuses on the design, testing and analysis, validation, and inspection of a wide range of materials and structures.
Examples of research / projects:
This theme extends from fundamental to applied research in intelligent system, adaptive control, and signal processing. The researchers within this theme focus on designing and enabling system automation utilizing intelligent robotics for applications such as health care, sports, structural / plants inspection and monitoring.
Examples of research / projects:
Figure: Corrosion monitoring on offshore wind turbine’s monopile (MP) – Transition Piece (TP) components after subjected to salt spray conditions.
The researchers within this theme employ and implement digital technologies and smart manufacturing including digital twin, additive manufacturing. Internet-of-Things (IoT), Augmented/Virtual Reality for engineering and system design and component/structure performance monitoring/analysis.
Examples of research / projects:
Supporting the sustainable development goals and net zero targets, our members conduct research in the renewable energy applications, energy management, risks and impact in relation to transformation to green fuel and carbon footprint.
Example of research/projects:
We offer our Engineering & the Built Environment PhD and have also identified a range of innovative research project opportunities for postgraduate researchers.
