Course Overview

Materials Engineering includes the development, specification, and engineering applications of new and existing materials. Your research will focus on understanding the physical and chemical descriptions that underlie materials performance and develop property and performance models of materials. A major research strength is the measurement and modeling of the mechanical response of materials at high-spatial-resolution, particularly in microelectronic and optical devices. A combination of unique equipment and interdisciplinary expertise supports this. Another research focus is the materials requirements for the sustainable development and use of key resources, in particular water and energy. We have significant research into the generation of energy from novel sources, low carbon and renewable technologies, and the clean-up of effluent and wastewater. Our major areas of research are: fuel cells and energy systems gasification cold plasma gasification bio-fuel cells bio-diesel production gas and water treatment nano-structured polymer composites for pollution control sustainable and environmental electrochemical systems photochemical processes and electrochemical synthesis
