Evolving from our traditional engineering roots, we continue to expand into new and developing areas, and provide a multidisciplinary approach to research and teaching.
From orthopaedic implant modelling and modern fuel cell technologies, to enhancing satellite broadcast technology, and improving the aerodynamics of Formula One racing cars and the hydrodynamics of America’s Cup yachts, we are always at the leading edge of research. We provide a range of services to industry and have a history of successful collaboration with leading technology companies worldwide.

Student profile: Vijaya B Kolachalama (29)
Vijaya is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. His PhD research at Southampton was funded by the Faculty of Engineering and the Environment.
"I chose Southampton because of its academic reputation and the financial support offered. I was motivated to apply my knowledge and skills to clinically relevant problems, gaining mechanistic insights into arterial disorders using CAD, computational fluid dynamics and statistical tools. Collaboration with Southampton General Hospital’s Department of Vascular Surgery made me realise the impact of biomedical research today. My advisors at Southampton transformed me from an aerospace engineer into a multidisciplinary researcher in biomedical engineering."
