Turbomachinery, energy and fluid mechanics
Building on research in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to develop a systems view of energy generation and utilisation, particularly in ground and air transport, to mitigate environmental impact
Electrical engineering
Pursuing fundamental research into advanced materials, new components and novel systems to progress the fields of nanotechnology, sensing, energy generation and conversion, display and communications technologies
Mechanics, materials and design
Extending fundamental and applied research in micromechanics and materials, design, and dynamics and vibrations; exploiting cross-disciplinary partnerships across the University; and building on existing strengths to develop excellence in bioengineering and healthcare systems research
Civil, structural and environmental engineering
Advancing the mechanics of civil and structural engineering systems within the broader context of the design, construction and operation of sustainable infrastructure and the stewardship of Earth's resources and environment
Manufacturing and management
Developing new understanding of manufacturing technology, operations, strategy and policy, in close partnership with industry, in order to increase industrial competitiveness
Information engineering
Developing fundamental theory and applications relating to the generation, distribution, analysis and use of information in engineering and biological systems
