   The Industrial Design Group has been focusing on human-centred design research that applying Human Factors theory to optimise human well-being and overall system performance.

2. Nutraceuticals Functional Foods

   The Centre for Natural Products Discovery is concerned with preventing and curing disease. Find out about the abundance of scientific evidence that indicates that certain naturally occurring, non-nutritive and nutritive chemical components may prevent or reduce the risk of some chronic diseases.

3. The Absolute Chemistry Research Group

   The Absolute Chemistry Research Group is dedicated to practices of Outreach, Public Engagement and Widening Participation.

4. (Post)qualitative Research in Education

   The (Post)qualitative Research in Education group recognises and works across the following areas of activity and interest: ‘Research in Psychogeography, Post-qualitative inquiry, Autoethnography, and Life-Writing in education’ (RiPPALe).

6. Galaxy formation and evolution

   The Galaxy Formation and Evolution Research Group looks at population studies of dwarf galaxies up to the most massive clusters of galaxies, supermassive black holes and detailed modelling of the internal structure of galaxies. Discover more about our expertise, who we work with and meet the researchers.

7. Computational and theoretical galaxy formation

   The computational and theoretical galaxy formation group within the Astrophysics Research Institute uses state-of-the-art simulations on supercomputing facilities. Find out more about our research.

8. Star formation and evolution and stellar populations

   By studying the gas and stars that shape the Milky Way as well as other galaxies in the local Universe, we can understand the life cycles of stars like our Sun, unravel the chemical enrichment history of the universe, and probe the existence of black holes across a wide mass spectrum.

9. Prisons and punishment

   Prisons and punishment research within the Centre for the Study of Crime, Criminalisation and Social Exclusion.

10. Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Lifelong Health: Engagement and impact

    It is a core goal of the Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Lifelong Health group to help translate science from the molecular level to practical ways to benefit the health of our local community and the greater population.
