Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Energy Technology Group

The Energy Technology Group researches is the focal point for energy research in Engineering and the Environment. Our aim is to address major scientific and technological challenges faced in energy efficiency and technology.

Magnetic Resonance

Our main focus is finding ways to extend the timescale over which magnetic resonance can be made.
