Organisation profile
Our pioneering research and strong industry partnerships address some of the world’s most pressing challenges including net-zero energy, cleaner production, and sustainable aviation.
We focus on five core research areas:
- Aerospace engineering
- Fluids
- Innovative manufacturing
- Nuclear engineering
- Solid mechanics
Building on this foundation, we also apply our expertise to interdisciplinary fields such as healthcare, engineering biology, and environmental science.
Through extensive collaboration with industry and academia, we are advancing engineering for a net-zero future by:
- Transforming sustainable aviation through autonomous systems and innovative aircraft design
- Driving energy transition with cutting-edge fusion and fission research
- Revolutionising manufacturing using lasers, robotics, and digital technologies
- Leading globally in fluid simulation and turbulence mechanics
