Our core research strengths

The department is organised into five research groups around its discipline expertise. 

These groups are the custodians of the technical disciplines that we bring to applications and to inter-disciplinary research.

The topics are fast-evolving and there is excitement in conducting the theoretical advances that keep these foundational topics at the forefront of technological progress.
