Civil Engineering is a rapidly expanding department with a committed team of enthusiastic and collegiate staff. Current research across the department focusses on:
Our academic staff have also been actively engaged in interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary research activities such as renewable and clean energy technologies, advanced materials and processes for low carbon manufacturing, carbon capture and storage, complex system modelling, energy demand and bio stabilisation and permeability reduction.
The Department has received over sixteen million RMB of research income since 2011 and is building on its success in order to develop into a research-led department of excellence with international standing and identity.
The Department has launched a series of built environment research seminars to encourage research interaction between academic staff, postgraduate students and researchers from different communities in the interrelated context of sustainability in built environment and infrastructure system.
The seminar series plays an important role in the development of new research strategies and cultivates a meeting point for active researchers within the built environment disciplines. It is also intended to facilitate multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research activities in order to develop substantive collaborations and publications.
The theme of the seminars centre on the state-of-the-art research in all aspects of the sustainable development of civil, structural, water, environmental and transportation engineering, architecture, urban planning, renewable energy, building services as well as environmental and architectural acoustics. Research on other aspects of the built environment, including approaches based in social and cultural contexts, are also encouraged.
