The Mechanical Engineering and Materials Research Centre (MEMARC) specialises in fracture and contact mechanics, wave propagation in lattices and microstructures, thermal fatigue and thermal striping, materials development and processing, as well as dynamics and control systems. You can find out more about these research areas and the projects MEMARC are working on here.
Mechanical Engineering and Materials Research Centre
The Fracture and Contact Mechanics specialises in the development and use of finite element structural and multi-physics packages.
MEMARC's members conduct research into materials development, as well as biological systems and sports engineering. Learn more about this research, the researchers who work in this area and the materials development and processing projects members have completed.
The Research Centre for Critical Infrastructure Computer Technology and Protection (PROTECT) specialises in: security to safeguard systems against cyber-attacks, networking to support the systems’ distributed operations, game techniques, as well as software engineering and artificial intelligence. Learn more about PROTECT's research specialisms and the Centre's research groups.
Research suggests that autistic people are at a higher risk of suicide than non-autistic people. Figures show that up to 66% of autistic adults had thought about suicide during their lifetime (compared to 20% of non-autistic adults), and up to 35% had planned or attempted suicide.
The Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Research Group is concerned with the mechanisms underlying cognitive and emotional behaviour and the disruption of these processes by drugs, ageing, atypical development or disease. Find out about our expertise, collaborations, facilities, publications and learning opportunities within the group.
Our Digital Health is a research project that looks at how people with learning disabilities use technology to support their health and wellbeing.
Welcome to the project site for the Behavioural Intervention for Opioid Reduction (BIOR). The resources collated here are freely available on the internet and will give you more information about chronic pain, how it is managed and user-led information on what can help.
Find out more information on self-managing chronic pain for people who live with pain and are looking to better manage their pain with prescribed medication.
