RESEARCH CENTRES
Centre for Advanced Electronics (CAE)
The primary objective of the CAE is to advance electronics research in the James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow. We are committed to creating a world-class research centre for advanced electronics, nurturing highly skilled workers and researchers and supporting innovation in the industry.
Centre for the Cellular Microenvironment (CeMi)
We are a multidisciplinary team of bioengineers and cell engineers who focus on understanding the interactions between materials, proteins and cells to gain fundamental insight into engineering cell behaviour and translating technologies to provide better healthcare.
Centre for Medical and Industrial Ultrasonics (C-MIU)
C-MIU brings together people in an environment that stimulates world-leading research, which is shared with academia, industry, clinicians and the public, and provides research-led training for future leaders in ultrasonics.
Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre (GCEC)
Computational Engineering (CE) delivers sophisticated modelling and simulation tools to predict the behaviour of complex, real-world systems. We aim to foster a community of people who learn, train, and work together on the discovery, implementation, and application of ground-breaking computational solutions to relevant engineering challenges.
Glasgow Centre for Sustainable Energy
The Glasgow Centre for Sustainable Energy focuses on providing sustainable, accessible energy while minimising environmental and societal impacts. We take a holistic approach to global energy challenges, working closely with communities, governments, and industries to advance sustainable solutions for a greener future.
RESEARCH FACILITIES
James Watt Nanofabrication Centre
The James Watt Nanofabrication Centre undertakes fundamental, applied and commercial research, development and small scale production using a vast array of developed process modules and background IP which can provide integrated processes to deliver circuits, devices, systems and solutions.
National Wind Tunnel Facility
The National Wind Tunnel Facility (NWTF) is a UK-wide network of strategic wind tunnels identified and selected for their key capabilities to ensure the UK remains a key player within the field of Aerodynamics.
