Research at the Department of Mechanical Engineering

We use computational models of the human musculoskeletal system to describe and explain muscle and joint function during functional activities, such as walking.

We design new materials using computational and experimental methodologies.

We study critical flows and heat transfer in power generation and transport using the power of supercomputers and innovative machine-learning approaches.

We leverage the latest tools and interdisciplinary collaborations to support the designer and the design process.

Fluid Mechanics examines many aspects of fluid mechanics with a focus on turbulent flows.

Helping to create a competitive advantage across manufacturing and process industries by accelerating digital transformation and delivering holistic and integrated solutions for sustainable outcomes.

Our robotics research includes fundamental research in the area of intelligent manipulation of system dynamics, as well as translational research.

We undertake studies in transport, power generation and energy systems, with a focus on low emission technologies and energy efficiency.
