The School has established a number of cross cutting units which involve staff from across the three research themes.
These multidisciplinary areas bring together expertise from a wide range of research groups so that staff can contribute specialist knowledge to a key research field. These cross cutting research areas are priorities for governments, industry, the economy and society, both nationally and internationally and include:
Our multidisciplinary group is coordinating research across engineering to support the development of the new materials required to underpin future technology developments.
With our partners in China and the UK we have established a Smart Engineering Research and Development Group which aims to provide a holistic approach to smart engineering.
Sustainable transport research addresses a range of low-carbon transport alongside associated infrastructures such as electricity and hydrogen to support existing systems, and to deliver the transport of the future.
Multiphysics mechanics uses a multidisciplinary approach to the modelling and simulation of new engineering materials and systems for a wide range of applications.
Healthy living and ageing research aims to understand and support studies on longevity and well-being from genetic, molecular and cellular factors and processes.
