Energy in buildings
We specialise in optimising energy usage in domestic, industrial and commercial buildings, both newly built and retrofitting
Energy recovery
The amount of energy available in waste heat is vast, and it presents an opportunity for great enhancements in process efficiency
Product development
The Centre for Infrastructure Management has an extensive expertise in assisting organisations to develop innovative products to remain competitive, including concept generation, novel pipe couplings, accelerated concrete curing technology and corrosion prevention systems.
Development of a device to assist individuals with significant visual degradation
The aim of this study is to develop a device that can assist blind or those with severely impaired vision to be able to have an improved ability to be able to walk safely in public places.
Characterisation and optimisation of the zenithal bistable device
The zenithal bistable device (ZBD) is a bistable LCD device with major optical, mechanical and operational advantages over other bistable technologies
HIPIMS
Licensed process for the upscaling and implementation of High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering technology for the deposition of hard coatings
Low-cost thin film solar cell
A research opportunity for postgraduate students providing training and experience in a wide range of topics related to the development of solar cells. They will also carry out this research in their home universities and start to replicate 'solar villages' in their own countries after completion of their PhD programme
Energy recovery
The amount of energy available in waste heat is vast, and it presents an opportunity for great enhancements in process efficiency
Self Assembly of Fibres and Ribbons
In this work, we are using molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the principles by which highly anisotropic nanostructures nucleate and grow
