The ERI aims to integrate the various existing engineering research capabilities within the School of Engineering to provide a unique opportunity to develop novel research. The ERI activities involve into two main research areas, Industrial Research and Internal Research. The first provides the synergy for effective transfer of technology and research capabilities between industry and the ERI; while the second enables the ERI to explore new ideas of original research and development in biomechanical engineering, electroactive polymer applications, computer systems, digital signal processing and a number of other areas.
