Research Groups of Faculty of Engineering

The research groups in the Faculty of Engineering focus on various areas of engineering covered by its departments. They serve as a platform for collaboration among staff and students from different departments within the engineering faculty and other faculties. The aim is to address modern engineering problems and needs, which often require an interdisciplinary approach.

The scope of this research group includes:  

The Power Electronics and Energy Systems research group is dedicated to carrying out research in several key areas such as Innovative electrical drivers, Renewable energy and grid integration, EV battery chargers, Micro grid.

Research in the field of electrical engineering is rapidly evolving, driven by the need for sustainable and efficient energy solutions. One key area of focus is the development of innovative electrical drivers, which are essential for enhancing the performance and efficiency of various electrical systems. These drivers play a crucial role in optimizing the operation of renewable energy sources and integrating them seamlessly into the power grid.
Renewable energy and grid integration is another critical research domain, aiming to ensure that renewable sources like solar and wind can be reliably incorporated into existing power grids. This involves addressing challenges related to variability, storage, and distribution to maintain grid stability and efficiency.
EV battery chargers are also a significant area of research, focusing on developing fast, efficient, and reliable charging solutions for electric vehicles. This is vital for the widespread adoption of EVs and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
The concept of microgrids is gaining attention, offering localized energy solutions that enhance resilience and sustainability. Microgrids can operate independently or in conjunction with the main grid, providing a flexible and reliable energy supply, especially in remote or underserved areas.

The built environment is prevalent for living and working. SIPM is a multi-disciplinary research group looking to identify, articulate and address the challenges faced by the construction industry and built environment.  The research group works across various subject areas to identify how we design, deliver, and utilise built environment assets and infrastructure differently, considering challenges that impact both locally and globally.  Research group work covers infrastructure, project management, digital transformation, and engineering economics to address wider questions of how we create a resilient infrastructure and built environment in the face of local & global changes. New ideas and approaches require new skills for the construction industry; we work with construction companies to look at new delivery modes and support the development of the professions to meet these new requirements. The research group signifies the convolution of the questions posed for the construction industry and recognises that for research to have an impact, it must be driven by collaboration with all stakeholders to improve the well-being of citizens, ensuring that buildings and infrastructure can meet current and future needs.  

Areas: Feasibility of projects, Real estate Economics, Project management, Dispute Resolution and arbitration, Digital Transformation - BIM, Digital Twin
