Schools/Departments

We aim to create a better world by devising solutions to significant societal problems. Our research focuses on several key themes within each discipline:

  • Biomedical Engineering

    Biomedical Engineering drives research and education in medical technologies, health informatics and healthcare delivery.

  • Chemical Engineering

    Chemical Engineering has a diverse range of innovative research programs, which focus on four key engineering themes: materials development; separations technology; surface chemistry and rheology; and bioprocessing.

  • Computing and Information Systems

    The School of Computing and Information Systems is an international research leader in computer science, information systems and software engineering.

  • Electrical and Electronic Engineering

    Electrical & Electronic Engineering targets significant problems faced in society – development of bionic implants, energy efficient telecommunications, sensor networks for irrigation and water resource management, and ultra-broadband wireless and optical communications.

  • Infrastructure Engineering

    Infrastructure Engineering drives research into civil; geotechnical; structural; transport; spatial information (geomatics); and environmental engineering, including hydrology and water resources.

  • Mechanical Engineering

    Mechanical engineering applies human and material resources to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of machines (supported increasingly by sophisticated computer technology) to move people, goods and materials; generate energy; produce goods and services; and control pollution and dispose of wastes.
