research in the school
of computing, science & engineering
World class facilities are the basis for the delivery of taught and
research postgraduate activity. The CSE research ethos is of developing
a culture of solving ‘real world’ problems combined with direct links
with industry and commerce. Much of our research activity has been
recognised through the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) where the
highest rating of 6* was awarded.
The opportunities for postgraduate research fall under four Research Institutes at the University: the IInstitute for Materials Research, the Informatics Research Institute, the Research Institute for the Built and Human Environment and the Institute for Health & Social Care Research.
If you have an area of interest that you think may come under the School of Computing, Science and Engineering please read the following on the various areas of research carried out at Salford.
For information on how to apply for study by reseach please use the contact details provided in this section for an application form and the application procedure.

Institute for
Materials Research
(IMR)
www.imr.salford.ac.uk
- Engineering Materials
- Functional Materials
- Theory and Modelling
The Institute was established in 1999 to provide a focus for research on materials at the University. Its members are scientists and engineers who are active in the development, characterisation and exploitation of new materials, both structural and functional. The Institute employs around 30 academic staff, 20 research staff and over 80 research students.
The work of the Institute is divided into the following 12 research groups:
Applied Mathematics
Atomic Collisions in Solids and Ion-Beam Physics
Chemical Physics and Biomaterials
Chemistry & Nanotechnology
Magnetic Materials and Nanostructures
Materials Characterisation & Modelling
Photonics and Nonlinear Science
Polymers
Space and Solar Plasma Physics
Spray Research Group
Stress Analysis (SARG)
Surface Engineering
Please visit our website at www.imr.salford.ac.uk to find out more information about
the above areas of research study including the group members, the group’s facilities and research interests.

Acoustics Research Centre
The Centre was rated 6* (the highest grade) in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise. Salford University has a 30 year history of acoustics research.
Principal areas include building and architectural acoustics, environmental acoustics, outdoor sound propagation, remote acoustic sensing of metrological conditions, subjective response especially for room acoustics and audio systems, digital signal
processing, transducer design and active control.
Salford is one of the two UK universities that provide acoustics training at degree, masters and doctoral level. The Centre has a portfolio of fundamental and
laboratory for acoustics’ instrumentation and thermal testing facilities. The facilities were rebuilt in 2005 with a £2M investment.
Consultancy and commercial projects with the acoustics industry form an important part of the Centre’s work. Its facilities and staff expertise are applied to practical and actual scenarios. As a result, industry and commerce benefit, and the Centre’s
courses are kept up-to-date with the current industry practice. These commercial activities also attract funding to support undergraduate and postgraduate ventures.

business & enterprise
in
the school
of computing, science & engineering
The Commercial Enterprise Unit has
built upon the success of the STaR
Centre. The STaR Centre, (Sustainable
Technologies and Regeneration)
created and run by Professor Rob
Jackson, in the main handled all the
commercial aspects for the School of
Computing, Science & Engineering, as
well as being a base for Sustainability
and Regeneration Consultancy.
The Commercial Enterprise Unit
provides a central focus for commercial
activity, whether it be running short
courses, providing expert advice, or
design and testing. The unit operates
with a number of specialist clusters of
expertise including: water, energy,
waste, acoustics, engineering design,
wind tunnels and the environment,
and is able to provide bespoke support
to local, regional, national and
international businesses.
We have worked with small
companies, and large companies such
as Kelloggs and BNFL.
The Unit is responsible for assisting
and coordinating commercial activities
carried out in the Faculty. We work
closely with the client to find out how
we can assist, then provide them with
a quote for work at a competitive
price, liaise between them and the
academic/technical support while
the work is carried out, and then
send out a report and invoice once
the work is complete.
The Commercial Enterprise Unit
operates a number of academic
units which include:
- STaR Centre
- Acoustic Test Facilities
- Acoustic Calibration Laboratory
- Thermal and Calibration Laboratories
- Structural Engineering Laboratory
- Virtual Environments
- Business Creation Unit (BCU)
- Audio Video Production
