The School of Engineering addresses diverse and complex challenges across the entire field of engineering, from the nano- to the macro/global scales. At the smallest scale, our research supports the design and deployment of novel nanotechnology and devices for biological monitoring and medical diagnosis; while at the macro/global scale, it optimises the security and sustainability of the built environment and develops engineering solutions to climate change issues.
