IMP stands for the Institute for Materials and Processes, which is the largest research Institute within the School of Engineering. This seminar listing highlights seminars within the Institute.
IMP's vision is to produce world class research to advance engineering applications of materials, fluids and processes, and to provide a high quality and creative research environment. We use experimental, computational and theoretical methods to shed light on the underlying engineering science. Our research tackles important societal challenges ranging from reducing CO2 emissions, to sustainable energy, clean water, and medical diagnostics and therapeutics.
Our Research Themes are:
- Carbon Capture and Separation Processes
- Multiscale Modelling from Atoms to Processes
- Multi-Phase Flows and Transport Phenomena
- Materials Design and Characterisation
