We utilize a powerful suite of in-house Design Search and Optimisation (DSO), advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Data Science techniques. Our research is defined by the integration of these cutting-edge capabilities to solve high-stakes, real-world engineering challenges.
High-level areas of focus
- Aerospace and UAV systems: Advancing aircraft design through innovations ranging from bioinspired aerodynamic surfaces to the deployment of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) for regional logistics.
- Data-driven multidisciplinary design optimisation: Enhancing the performance and reliability of complex fluid and structural systems.
- Materials and structures: Investigating novel lightweight composites, fracture mechanics, and advanced Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).
- Dynamics and control: Mastering nonlinear dynamics and stochastic analysis for large-scale engineering systems.
Industrial impact
Our global impact is underscored by long-standing collaborations with industry leaders. We host the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) for Computational Engineering and the Microsoft Institute for High Performance Computing, while maintaining strategic partnerships with Airbus, BAE Systems, Leonardo, and Lloyd’s Register.
