A mixer session to stimulate new collaborations and connections with the Department of Engineering.

Engineering the Living World

This session will highlight research themes within the Department of Engineering, and how they intersect with life sciences. Covering research into fundamental life science systems, through to research which allows exciting new ways of understanding and reimagining living systems, the event will feature short presentations from academics in the Department of Engineering. These will showcase research from across Engineering's research nodes, and will finish with refreshments and a a mixer session designed to encourage new collaborations. 

Research Overlaps 

We are looking to stimulate new connections with staff from the following research nodes: 

 

Bioengineering

  • Provide fundamental understanding to the operation of living tissue/organs/physiological systems.
  • Develop engineering techniques to be used as diagnostics tools

Computational Mechanics 

  • Work at the forefront of development of computational methods for solid mechanics.

  • Develop new applications for our computational methods across the engineering disciplines and beyond
