Advanced Engineering Centre

The Advanced Engineering Centre (AEC) is an internationally-recognised centre of research excellence with an established track record of pioneering research in applied thermofluids, including automotive engineering, heat transfer, sprays and two phase flows.

We work alongside global academics, industry leaders and policymakers to significantly impact the transportation, aerospace and medical sectors.

Our researchers are based in the new Advanced Engineering Building – a bold, innovative £14 million investment into cutting-edge facilities needed to tackle the most pressing engineering challenges.
