Infrastructure and Environment
We are dedicated to developing innovative solutions for both the built and natural environments. We address key challenges in water and environmental engineering, transportation systems, and materials modelling to drive sustainable infrastructure and urban resilience.
The Infrastructure and Environment Rsearch division is organised into four primary Research Groups, each focusing on critical areas within infrastructure and environmental engineering:
- Mechanics of Materials and Structures: Research in this group focuses on the properties and performance of materials, contributing to the development of durable, resilient infrastructure.
- Water and Environment: This group explores sustainable water management and environmental engineering, tackling challenges related to climate change, water resources, and pollution control.
- Smart Infrastructure: We focus on innovative, technology-driven solutions to improve infrastructure efficiency, including intelligent systems for monitoring, managing, and maintaining critical infrastructure.
- Geotechnics: Research in this group addresses the behaviour of soils and rocks, providing the foundation for safe and sustainable foundations for construction projects.
