Our work helps ensure our built environment is enduring, and supports our societies' evolving needs.
Research topics
Clean water and sanitation
We’re engineering water systems that deliver safe, reliable access to clean water, while tackling pollution and improving efficiency.
Example highlights:
Safe and secure infrastructure
Our work helps protect critical infrastructure from both physical and digital threats, using advanced modelling, risk analysis and systems thinking to build safety into every layer.
Example highlight: Digital twins for resilient wind turbine structures
Research topics
Extreme loads and reliability
We study how the built environment responds to hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, blasts or high winds, improving design standards and building resilience into the systems we all rely on.
Example highlight: Seismic testing for structures in developing countries
Innovative materials
We’re creating next-generation materials that are more durable, sustainable and fit for the future — supporting a circular economy and enabling new construction methods.
Example highlights:
Research topics
Monitoring and sensing of structures and infrastructure
Our research develops new methods and sensing technologies to track our built environment and its condition - delivering better outcomes for our infrastructure and inhabitants.
Example highlight: Schools' air quality monitoring for health and education
