Region's first robotics centre launches
Robotics in South Yorkshire has sparked into life in 2008 with the launch of the region's only Centre for Automation and Robotics Research (CARR), based at Sheffield Hallam University
Spotlight on Professor Papken Hovsepian
Professor Papken Hovsepian has more than 30 years experience in the field of physical vapour deposition (PVD) and has carried out a pioneering work on the development of cathodic arc PVD technologies and systems leading to industrial implementation of the process
Research Degrees in the Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre
In the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 staff from the BMRC were returned in the Biological Sciences unit of assessment (UoA5). Sheffield Hallam was the second highest ranking modern university in this UoA with 46% of our research being rated as world leading or internationally excellent (4* or 3*).
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) utilises a beam of electrons to transmit through an ultra thin specimen. The interaction between the transmitting electrons and the specimen leads to the generation of several types of signals regarding structural and chemical characteristics of the specimen material.
NVPCD Opening
John Denham was welcomed by Vice Chancellor Professor Diana Green, before officially opening the refurbished laboratory at the world renowned Sheffield Hallam Nanotechnology Centre for PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) Research
HIPIMS celebrated with national centre and conference
A revolutionary scientific technology in high demand with Rolls-Royce, the space science department at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and even the US military is to be celebrated at the annual HIPIMS conference
CADubator provides paid work experience to engineering students
A new program named CADubator has been set up in the engineering department of the College of Business, Technology and Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University for students to gain paid work experience
Innovative construction materials
We have a strong track record of undertaking research and development for the creation of new materials from waste. We can also apply corrosion prevention methodologies to extend a product's life and have developed new coatings, all meeting environmental legislation, for a range of innovative applications.
Expertise
Our research covers a broad range of topics, from semiconductors to concrete and from theoretical modelling to industrial applied coatings
