Advanced Materials and Composites brings together a multi-disciplinary team of researchers. The group focusses on the development and design of innovative hybrid processes and materials for advanced manufacturing applications. Research addresses current societal challenges included in the UK Government’s Industrial Strategy focussing on new product innovation and development, process engineering, process optimisation, integrated transportation systems and control engineering, biomedical healthcare systems, manufacturing systems, and supply chain logistics and optimisation. All activity is aimed at delivering practicable solutions to local and national manufacturing companies.
Future research activity will be focussed on the aims stated in regional and UK Industrial Strategies and specifically focussed on fundamental innovation in key areas of interest in transportation, energy, and device manufacture from the bench to commercialisation.
