Research carried out in the department covers five main research areas:

  • Biomechanics and biomaterials
  • Polymer and composite technology
  • Mechanical behaviour of metals and ceramics
  • Metallic materials forming processes
  • Light alloy and surface treatments

 

Following research groups participate in the Master and provide topics for for Master Thesis:
