The Research Divisions of the James Watt School of Engineering are at the forefront of tackling global challenges through innovation. Our divisions lead cutting-edge research in areas such as sustainable energy, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing, driving interdisciplinary solutions that shape the future of technology and society.
Autonomous Systems and Connectivity
We tackle multidisciplinary challenges to develop future technological capabilities that deliver uninterrupted connectivity that is interoperable between aircraft, helicopters, drones, future electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles, satellites, command centres and mobile units deployed on the ground or at sea.
Biomedical Engineering
Our Research Division brings together four important research themes in the areas of Advanced Medical Diagnostics, Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technologies, Biomaterials and Tissue engineering and Synthetic Biology.
Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering
The research in our division addresses a broad range of socially and industrially important applications in our many partnerships in academia, industry and government bodies.
Infrastructure and Environment
Grounded in the fundamentals, our Research Division provides innovative solutions to understand the built and natural environment, and develop the next generation of leaders.
Systems, Power and Energy
Our Research Division is tackling problems in many highly strategic and challenging areas of research across the whole range from blue-skies to strongly industrially focussed.
