1. Dynamics and control systems

   Researchers from MEMARC specialise in the area of dynamics and control systems.

2. Fracture and contact mechanics

   The Fracture and Contact Mechanics specialises in the development and use of finite element structural and multi-physics packages.

3. The Multisensory Mouth: An investigation into the Motivational, Cognitive and Emotional mechanisms, driving Oral behaviours

   This project focuses on the role olfactory and oral perception plays in shaping our consummatory experiences, preferences, and food seeking behaviours. Research into this area is important to health research, shaping understanding of individual differences in food selection, consumption, and other dietary behaviours.

4. Control and Logistic Group

   Control and Logistic group have conducted research and implementation on Control, Optimization and Industrial systems for four decades.

5. Microelectronics Group

   Researchers from the Microelectronics Research Group are investigating new technologies and materials. Members from the Group are also exploring ‘show-stoppers’ for optimizing digital/analogue circuits.

6. Electric Machines and Drives Group

   The Electric Machines and Drives Research Group conducts research into: variable-speed electric drive systems, electrical power generation plants for renewable energy sources and power electronic converters for interfacing the variable-speed drives and generators.

7. Nature Related Pedagogies

   The Nature related Pedagogies research group promotes inter-organisational collaboration and knowledge creation with a focus on nature related pedagogies for wellbeing.

9. PhD projects for Astrophysics studies starting in 2024

   Find out more about possible PhD projects for 2024 in the Astrophysics Research Institute. If your favourite topic is not in the list, we highly encourage you to contact staff in your fields of interest to discuss PhD projects.

10. 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.
