University of Leeds

The School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Leeds have a strong track record of delivering high-quality research to solve real world problems. We have a track record of delivering high-quality research to solve real world problems with particular expertise in: engineering systems and design; thermofluids, surfaces and interfaces; medical devices and regenerative medicine. The Advanced Composites Group at the School is dedicated to combining the aforementioned expertise to advancing research in the discovery, design, manufacturing, and recycling of high-performance polymer composites. Our focus extends from the foundational science of low-TRL blue-sky research to the practical applications at high TRL, encompassing both structural composites and multifunctional composites. Collaborating with internal and external partners. Our goal is to pioneer cutting-edge techniques, spanning modelling, synthesis, fabrication, manufacturing, and assembly/joining. Beyond research, we are committed to fostering composites education, contributing to the broader dissemination and application of our knowledge in academia and industry. The contacts of this group are Dr. Bing Zhang (b.zhang2@leeds.ac.uk) and Dr. Hamed Yazdani Nezhad (H.YazdaniNezhad@leeds.ac.uk)
