New design methodologies for open pit mines of reduced carbon footprint for the extraction of green economy metals
A key policy objective of the United Kingdom government is to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. This requires the decarbonization of all the major sources of emissions direct and indirect, i.e. Read more
Investigation of thermal properties of soils for offshore wind power cable design
The offshore wind industry is growing exponentially to meet climate change and energy transition goals. Power is transmitted to shore via cables trenched into the seabed. Read more
Achieving Material Efficiency in Modern Floor Design based on Human Acceptability
Background. The production of construction materials is a significant source of carbon emissions, and the way of achieving low carbon in construction is to enhance material efficiency. Read more
Future-Proofing Urban Water Supply: Antifragile Design for Flood Resilience
In the wake of increasing climate variability, urban areas worldwide are experiencing more frequent and severe flooding events, posing significant threats to water supply systems. Read more
An agent-based cellular automata model for analysing climate change risks to rapidly growing cities
In order deliver objective and sustainable future urban development a new suite of modelling tools are required that can assess the temporal dynamics of urban development in relation to multiple climate change hazards (e.g., heat, flooding, drought, vector borne diseases etc). Read more
Integrated Food and Water Planning for the Blue Nile Basin
Providing food security is one of this century’s most important challenges and can be affected by a range of factors, including global crises such as pandemics… Read more
A generative AI flood vulnerability model for a changing world
The IPCC’s 6th Assessment Report shows that complex interactions between multiple flood hazards, exposures, and (human) vulnerabilities are poorly understood. … Read more
Integrating BIM and Drone for Automated Inspection of Utility Tunnels
Utility tunnels are built underground to carry utility lines such as electricity or telecommunication cables, portable water, rainwater, or natural gas pipelines. Read more
A data-driven uncertainty-aware investment planning model in low-inertia power systems under security constraints
Transition to a zero-carbon electricity network necessitates deep integration of renewable resources with weather-dependent intermittent generation into the power system. Read more
Prediction of dynamic behaviour of lightweight alloys in extreme conditions for sustainable mobility.
Lightweight engineering materials offer a promising avenue for achieving carbon neutrality from the transport sector, with titanium alloys emerging as particularly attractive due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to extreme conditions. Read more
Adaptation strategies, environmental impacts, raw materials and costs of infrastructure systems
This project will quantify the material requirements and costs for infrastructure systems such as Air conditioning units, flood defences in cities. Read more
Process-aware optimal design of polymer Additive Manufactured (3D Printed) components via hybrid layout and topology optimisation
Additive Manufacturing (AM), often referred to as 3D Printing, techniques are well-known for their ability to produce highly complex geometries efficiently and effectively. Read more
Capillary pressure, relative permeability and wettability at critically-low saturated porous media (CRISP)
Darcy-scale theories of two-phase flow in porous media rely on two major constitutive equations; capillary-pressure- saturation and relative permeability-saturation equations. Read more
Digital Twin for Optimising the Performance of Concrete with Supplementary Cementitious Materials
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the World with an annual production exceeding 14 billion cubic meters. The production of cement, which is the binder material in concrete, is responsible for ~8% of global CO2 emissions. Read more
Machine Learning-Augmented Distributed Sensor Fusion for Autonomous Navigation in Confined Spaces
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
In the UK, much of the infrastructure, including tunnels, railways, bridges, mines, and pipelines, has been in service for over a century. Read more
