Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences

Research

The faculty has a distinguished history of research and many Nobel prize winners among our alumni. We have a wide range of research interests in science and engineering, ranging from the very small to the infinite. From nanophotonics to cosmology, mechatronics to wireless communication, cell biology to theoretical physics; we are working at all scales to understand our universe and to change it for the better.

Our work is interdisciplinary. We host research centres that bring together researchers from different subjects, in the faculty and across the university, including the Net Zero Centre, CUSP London and the Centre for the Physical Science of Life. The centres provide a collaborative critical mass of researchers, a network of contacts and facilities around defined interdisciplinary themes focusing on societal and environmental challenges.

We collaborate with centres such as Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics, the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Francis Crick Institute, as well as with industrial partners such as EDF Research, the Pensions Policy Institute and Unilever, and the London boroughs.
