Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Sustainability and Resilience Institute (SRI)

We bring together colleagues from across the University, and work with experts from around the world to answer one of the most pressing questions of our time: “How will we choose to manage our planet for ourselves and future generations?”

Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics Group

Our group undertakes research on fundamental fluid dynamics, applied aerodynamics, flow control, flight dynamics and aeroacoustics.
