Computational Engineering and Design

About

Our 3 main research themes are:

• design search and optimisation
• applied computational modelling
• computational methods

The strength of our research is based on combining engineering methods with industrial applications. For example, we are developing grid-based, problem-solving services for academia and industry. Our research has many applications, and our activities include:

• using computational methods for studying design and related problems in fluids, structures, control systems and biomechanics
• evolutionary optimisation
• constructing advanced cost-prediction systems
• optimising metamodelled, approximate or noisy systems and analysis of robustness

We also host:

• Southampton Regional e-Science Centre
• Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre for Computational Engineering
• Microsoft Institute for High Performance Computing
