Creating a perpetual positive impact on the world
About us
We are committed to producing the innovators and leaders of the future and to advancing the knowledge and technology needed to address global challenges. Our academics are internationally recognised researchers who have led the way in some of engineering’s most ground breaking developments – from establishing the equation for the Spitfire’s wings in the 1930s, to inventing the technology that led to the first mobile phone in the 1970s. Today, our cutting-edge research covers the breadth of Engineering, from composite materials that can revolutionise what our world is made of, to exploring the potential of quantum computing. We are proud of our interdisciplinary culture and our established global partnerships. We apply our research through technology and knowledge transfer, thanks to our strong relationships with industry which enable us to add value to the national and global economy. At Bristol we empower our students to think creatively and challenge existing practice. This nurtures a culture of enterprise, turning out graduates who are equipped to succeed and lead in whatever careers they choose.

Announcing a new funding scheme to support international & industrial residencies! The new pro² Residency Scheme will offer awards on a rolling basis to fund proposals within one of three categories: ⚙️ U.K. Industry Residency: Available to researchers to gain first-hand experience of a U.K. industrial context through onsite placement, with awards up to a maximum of £5,000. ⚙️ U.K.-Overseas Residency: Staff from U.K. Universities can apply for funds to visit overseas institutions to strengthen their research and impact, with awards up to a maximum of £10,000. ⚙️ International-U.K. Residencies: International collaborators can spend up to three months hosted at a U.K. University, with awards up to a maximum of £10,000. Visitors funded by the scheme will undertake world-leading, curiosity-driven research whilst building lasting partnerships with their hosts. The work will contribute directly towards developing new tools, techniques, processes or platforms that make it easier to replicate prototypes of digital devices.

Scientists based at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory are over the moon with the development of a new simulation that will help robots collect lunar dust! Moon dust contains a variety of valuable resources such as oxygen and remote handling will be key to analysing the material further. Their paper will be presented by lead author Joe Louca and team at this year's IROS 2024 (IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems).

Last week we had the pleasure of joining our fourth-year MEng students on a field trip to the Clifton Suspension Bridge to observe its multi-million-pound refurbishment by Taziker 🌉 The project, which began in Spring, includes a new paint system for the bridge’s chain links, parapet stanchions, and lattice work, as well as the installation of modern architectural lighting to further accentuate this landmark structure. During the trip, students saw firsthand the challenges of refurbishing heritage structures, including the complexity of accessing the site, maintaining historical integrity, and minimising disruption to the bridge's daily use. Field trips like this give our students an invaluable real-world experience, and we’re fortunate to have such remarkable case studies right on our doorstep. #CivilEngineering #CliftonSuspensionBridge #Engineering

It’s a privilege to be able to support and welcome WildDrone doctoral students and collaborators to University of Bristol / University of Bristol Engineering and to be coordinating their training throughout their PhDs. Looking forward to impact through their and our work!
This week, the WildDrone Consortium convened in Bristol for an engaging series of workshops, discussions, thematic meetings, and media training sessions. Hosted at the University of Bristol, Fenswood Farm Robotics Centre, and the BBC Studios, this gathering set the stage for our upcoming field trip to Kenya in January 2025 🛸✈️ In addition to exploring topics like ethics, computer vision, and drone implementation, the week provided an excellent opportunity for networking during our evening social program, where innovative ideas for cross-disciplinary collaboration emerged 💫 The WildDrone Consortium will train 13 doctoral candidates, integrating expertise in drone technology, computer vision, biology, and wildlife ecology. Our aim is to develop practical tools for visual inspection and monitoring of wildlife populations, behaviors, and habitats in complex environments such as the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. A big thank you to all who contributed to making this week a success, including all DCs, supervisors, management, project partners, and administrative staff. Together, we're transforming wildlife conservation practices—one step at a time 🦒🙏 #WildDroneEU #HorizonEU #MSCA #WildlifeConservation

Industry projects are a vital component of our engineering undergraduate degrees, offering students exposure to real-world engineering design briefs before they leave university. We’re delighted to share our latest blog featuring recent graduate Ethan Owi, who, in the final year of his MEng Civil Engineering degree, worked with his project group to design a new train-care facility in Holyhead on behalf of Arcadis and Transport for Wales. Faced with challenges such as difficult ground conditions and space limitations, Ethan and his team applied their civil engineering expertise to develop practical solutions for the new maintenance depot - and the CAD illustrations really speak for themselves. Read Ethan’s reflections here: https://lnkd.in/eQ7kGy9k ✏ CAD illustrations by group member Joseph Thompson

We’re immensely proud to have reached the shortlist for this year’s Royal Academy of Engineering Bhattacharyya Award, recognising our longstanding partnership with EDF (UK) to ensure safe, clean, and affordable energy for the UK. Professor Thomas Scott, from the University of Bristol’s Interface Analysis Centre shared this tribute: “In being shortlisted for this award we celebrate the legacies of Professor David Smith and Professor Peter Flewitt, who both made significant contributions to the EDF partnership over many years. Sadly David died in 2015 and Peter passed away suddenly last weekend and we regret that they were not able to share and celebrate in this culmination of their work, but we are grateful to have known and worked with them both.“
We are immensely proud of our partnership with EDF (UK) which has made strides towards UK’s #NetZero mission, and honoured to have been shortlisted for the Royal Academy of Engineering's prestigious Bhattacharyya Award. It wasn’t to be, but a huge congratulations to the AMRC and Boeing for winning and thank you to everyone who has made this decades-long partnership such an incredible success.
