Postgraduate Research Conference 2009
11th June 2009
The focus of the conference was on presentation of current PG research by the school’s MPhil, PhD & EngD Postgraduate researchers.
The programme covered all aspects of research within the school including:
- Flow Physics & Combustion
- Civil & Energy
- Manufacturing & Management
Three parallel themes covered all
topics of current research. Cash prizes were awarded for best papers/presentations
and posters in each of the three categories.
