Materials and Manufacturing
Novel honeycomb designs with negative Poisson's ratios and huge compressive strengths - Profs Evans and Smith
Over the last ten years, supply chain management has become a key factor in manufacturing business successes and competitive advantage
An important aspect of low-carbon manufacturing is to make sure materials are reused and recycled to reduce the waste of materials and energy from mining and production
Professor Young's group is exploring image based modelling and characterisation of micro-structures, such as bone scaffolds, in collaboration with Arup and NASA
Our research interests centre on how to develop, produce, and exploit the commercial benefits of new materials, innovative new products and high value, low carbon processes.
Research spans materials, manufacturing technologies, manufacturing systems, supply chains, and operational and strategic management.
