Development of Optical Biosensing Methods for Detection of Toxins Produced by Algae
Development of Optical Bio-sensing Methods for Detection of Toxins Produced by Algae - A PhD research study by Rukaiah Al-Ammar.
Corrosion and structural integrity
Our major aim is to elucidate and quantify the processes that contribute to the deterioration and failure of engineering materials through the interaction of material composition, operating environment and the applied/residual stress system.
Diagnosis and remediation strategies
Our services in this area include condition monitoring, inspection and surveys of infrastructure, remediation for steel and concrete corrosion and developments in novel monitoring systems
Lean manufacture
Our academics and consultants help client determine opportunities for cost effective productivity and efficiency increases, assist in the reduction of waste from the manufacturing process and increase efficiency of production processes by automation
