Research you can join
Institute for Materials & Manufacturing
Lighter structures, longer-lasting tooling, and recycling routes for composites, working from the foundry and clean room on the Hillfort campus.
Urban Mobility Research Unit
Buses, bikes, and the street as a system: sensing pilots and models that city engineers can run themselves.
Renewable Energy Systems Centre
Grid-scale storage, tidal array modelling, and the rural connections problem — tested on the energy loop that runs between both campuses.
