Centre for Engineering Research (CER)

Research theme/s:

The Centre for Engineering Research (CER) delivers excellent research and high-quality innovation where original ideas, fundamental and applied knowledge push and continue to develop the frontiers of engineering science in both outputs and impact.

Research at CER cuts across multiple disciplines drawing together more than 40 academic and research staff and over 70 PhD and EngD students from electrical and electronic, material and manufacturing, civil, aeronautics and mechanical engineering and their associated disciplines. These include power, embedded systems, communications, information engineering, materials, aerospace and civil structures, energy, microfluidics, microengineering and bioengineering.

The Centre comprises of research groups mapping into five university-wide research themes and the UKRI and industrial strategy grant challenges.
