Research

From the circular economy to water and waste treatment research to how microbes behave and survive indoors; our engineering solutions improve environmental health, and the health of the environment.

Our research underpins solutions to improving air quality and reducing virus spread; coastline protection in extreme weather events and informing sustainable designs of offshore energy infrastructure.

Through space-based measurements using radio waves, down to micron level observations using lasers and optical techniques, we specialise in the science, engineering and modelling of measurements.

Our expertise focuses on the mechanical and micromechanical behaviour of soils and its interaction with structures; improving design methodology and infrastructure longevity for greater resilience.

We investigate resilience, sustainable innovation and efficiency of infrastructure in its broadest sense, including low-carbon infrastructure, disaster risk reduction and human behaviour analysis.

Our work explores structural and design challenges arising from hazards such as fire, earthquakes and flooding and sustainability research into low-carbon structural systems and advanced materials.

We improve the mobility, safety and quality of life for all with research across the transport and city domains including multiscale modelling and simulation of transport systems and human behaviour.
