PhD Materials Engineering

Our research areas within Materials Engineering include

Work covers the production, property measurement and performance assessment of:

Your research will focus on understanding the physical and chemical descriptions that underlie material's performance. You'll also work towards developing property and performance models of materials

We focus on developing new materials for advanced engineering applications. This includes microelectronics, optics and power transmission

Current research projects include:

One of our research strengths is measurement and modelling of the mechanical response of materials at high-spatial-resolution. This is particularly in microelectronic and optical devices. A combination of unique equipment and interdisciplinary expertise supports this. Another research focus is the materials requirements for sustainable development. This includes the use of key resources, in particular water and energy. We have significant research into the generation of:

Our major research topics include:

Our mission is to foster, promote and conduct research of international quality. We attract high-quality graduates and researchers and train them to international standards.
