Future research
The future vision includes:
- Enhanced activity in renewable energy (wind, wave and tidal stream);
- Expansion of nuclear research, in Nuclear Decommissioning and Reactor Technology;
- An accelerated shift from the macro to micro/nano scales in manufacturing, with emphasis on design, fabrication and inspection;
- Expansion of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), benefiting from ever-expanding parallel processing for problems in energy, environmental and aerospace flows which are increasingly complex.
