In the Brain and Behaviour Research Group within RISES, we study human motor behaviour from the neural level through to perception and cognition. Our two main areas of research are sensorimotor neuroscience and expert performance and learning.
The Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Lifelong Health (CaMP-LH) group aims to optimise muscle health throughout the human life course.
The Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism Group within RISES are involved in health, wellbeing, recovery and sporting performance. Our research into exercise metabolism and adaptation is applicable to the design of interventions that improve human health.
Our research is applied in nature and is focused on physical activity, sedentary behaviour, fitness and health in laboratory and various real world settings.

Researchers from MEMARC specialise in the area of dynamics and control systems.
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.
Wave propagation in lattices and microstructures is one of MEMARC's key research specialisms. Researchers working in this area concentrate on invisibility, focusing and shielding.
The Applied Computing Research Group focuses on the application of computing to real-world problems through research and industrial projects. You can find out more about the work the Applied Computing Research Group conduct, the researchers and the contact details for this group here.
