We create sustainable, smart, reliable and robust engineering solutions from multi-disciplinary expertise and with cutting-edge technologies. Subject Overview We pursue cross-disciplinary developments to master the challenges of our changing natural and societal environment with sustainable, smart and robust engineering solutions. Particular emphasis is put on critical phenomena such as natural and technical hazards, extreme events and human errors in order to mitigate risks and severe consequences, to minimise the vulnerability and to optimise the reliability of systems and structures. Key element in our developments is a comprehensive risk and uncertainty quantification based on probabilistic, interval and fuzzy methods as well as with imprecise probabilities as a combination thereof. We work with emerging concepts in stochastic mechanics and robust design to cope with model uncertainties, errors in modelling and measurements and noise in signals. This includes innovative developments in system and damage identification, structural health monitoring, vibration control as well as in the quantification of failure consequences. From the mechanical perspective we complement our portfolio with advanced techniques in structural dynamics, systems modelling, multi-scale and multi-physics modelling. Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering MPhil - 1 year Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering PhD - 2 years

We equip our students for rewarding careers and our graduates have found jobs in a wide range of industries and organisations, both in the UK and abroad. Training in our research group is designed to build up both technical competitiveness and leadership on the highest level. After intensive mathematical-engineering research on advanced level combined multi-disciplinary exposure and involvement in international and industrial collaboration, our graduates find excellent career prospects in both academia and industry, where previous graduates from our team members have taken up leading positions.
