Green Energy Lab is an interdisciplinary research initiative in sustainable energy. We bring together laboratories, researchers and students to explore new technologies and systems for the green energy transition.
Our work spans experimental facilities and simulation capabilities in fluid mechanics, energy storage, advanced materials and virtual modelling.
Expertise further includes nanomaterials and molecular dynamics; computational solid and fluid mechanics, structural dynamics and impact studies; as well as control systems, sensors, AI modelling and data analysis.
With contributions from colleagues across faculties and disciplines, the Lab integrates hands-on experiments with advanced simulations and theory. Through projects at bachelor, master, PhD and postdoctoral level, we generate new knowledge and educate the next generation of engineers.
