Groups
Alternative Housing
The Alternative Housing Research Group (AHRG) is led by researchers at the School of Architecture and Built Environment, from the disciplines of Architecture and Construction Management. The aim of AHRG is to focus research on alternative ways of: conceiving, designing, procuring, constructing and occupying buildings and land to make housing more affordable, and sustainable.
Applied and Industrial Mathematics
Our vision is to be a leading hub in industrial and applied mathematical research, driving innovation, developing industry connections, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and training applied mathematicians.
Circular Economy and Sustainable Construction
The Circular Economy and Sustainable Construction (CESC) group is a multidisciplinary research team advancing innovation in sustainable building. By integrating advanced materials, smart systems, circular economy principles, sustainable processes and low-carbon technologies, the group develops practical solutions for a resilient, energy-efficient, ecologically sustainable built environment.
Clinical Radiation Research
In Radiation Oncology, one patient's care is managed by many: radiation oncologists (doctors), medical physics specialists, radiation therapists and nurses. Administration staff manage the complex task of fitting in so many people to receive their treatment and follow-up, and Clinical Trials Coordinators make sure that when study participants agree to take part in a trial, they know what to expect.
Critical Infrastructure Performance and Reliability
The CIPAR group has a strong national and international reputation within the academic community and industry, with an emphasis on infrastructure resilience. The core focus of CIPAR is bridging the gap between fundamental research and its practical applications. CIPAR is actively involved in senior industry advisory boards, professional body committees, and national or international standards review panels.
Interdisciplinary Machine Learning
The Interdisciplinary Machine Learning Research Group (IMLRG) investigates aspects of machine learning, pattern recognition and data analysis in theory, experiments and applications. Particular emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary projects.
Plant Science
The philosophy of the Centre for Plant Science (CPS) is to encourage and support members to pursue the fields of plant science that ignite their passion for research. This is undertaken in a supportive and high-quality research environment fostered through cooperative activities by CPS members that include:
Medical Physics
The application of physics and mathematics to healthcare has and continues to make a major impact on human health. Medical physics is a rapidly changing and growing field where innovation and research can have an immediate application to patients and improved treatment outcomes.
Newcastle Robotics Laboratory
The Newcastle Robotics Laboratory is an interdisciplinary research and training initiative of several robotics related research teams from different research areas including applied mathematics, architecture, computer science, control, electrical engineering, neuroscience, mechatronics and software engineering.
Secure and Reliable Communications
The Secure and Reliable Communications Research Group aims to design communication systems that can resist interference and noise, protect against security and privacy threats, connect millions of devices, and sense the environment through wireless signals.
Sustainable Food Innovation
The food and agribusiness sector is an important focal point for regional innovation and development. Research focused on strengthening the accessibility of quality produce, supporting innovative production, processing and distribution techniques, and enhancing food security, provide opportunities for increased competitiveness for the sector and greater productivity across local and global markets.
