Doctoral students
Voluntary Action Research Groups members supervise doctoral candidates across a range of topic areas and disciplines, making use of a variety of methods. Members are always keen to hear from prospective doctoral candidates.
Materials Consultancy
Our consultancy team has an excellent track record of working with industry to find solutions in a short deadline and to a high standard. We draw upon the latest thinking generated through our research and our hands on experience of working in industry.
Application of microwave energy for accelerated curing of construction repairs
This project aims to evaluate parameters of microwave energy and repair material characteristics.
Development of Thermal Imaging to Monitor Wounds in Skeletal Surgeries
The aim of this project is to develop innovative thermal imaging solutions to assess and monitor inflammation and surgical tissues' reaction and the time taken for them to settle down after skeletal surgeries.
Development of accelerometry to assist in vestibular dysfunction examinations and to reduce falls
This study aims to develop accelerometry techniques in order to accurately measure the body's posture and movements and use signal processing and artificial intelligence methods to analyse and interpret the information.
Digital Manufacturing
The use of additive manufacturing and 3D printing, which has been in development over the last 30 years, is steadily becoming the norm for many companies in order to produce complete and complex product prototypes, as well as undertake small batch production. Find out more about the research opportunities in this very innovative and rewarding field of manufacturing research.
New ceramic material can help protect our troops
Funded by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), we were tasked with creating a high performance ceramic material with potential for use in for body armour. The project was undertaken by Hywel Jones, one of our materials engineering experts, and Anthony Pick, a ceramic consultant
Long-term collaboration with an industrial partner
This case study looks at how an Innovation Voucher from Innovate UK led to a long-term collaboration with an industrial partner
Plasma Investigations of the HIPIMS Discharge Industrial funding
High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS) has been developed on rotating PVD magnetron sources for uniform deposition on 200mm single wafer tools for barrier and seed layer deposition in through silicon vias (TSV)
