Research activity

Research at the School of Engineering encompasses a broad range of engineering disciplines and allied sciences. This breadth positions us well to undertake research in sustainability engineering, which is multidisciplinary in nature.

Our research focuses on three main themes:

  • Energy, resources and the environment
  • Communication, monitoring and control
  • Materials, manufacturing and infrastructure

Research Institutes and Centres

ECU provides a strong research environment, allowing world-class research to create lasting impact for our communities.

Centre for Sustainable Energy and Resources

The Centre for Sustainable Energy and Resources endeavours to decarbonise the energy supply chain, while simultaneously increasing the efficiency of hydrocarbon recovery and guaranteeing energy security. The Centre conducts leading edge research in the areas of improved natural gas and oil recovery, but also in Carbon Capture and Storage and Blue and Green hydrogen production (here hydrogen geo-storage is a key topic).

School-based research

Our school has an outward looking research and development perspective. We endeavour to proactively identify and develop innovative solutions to real-world engineering problems, particularly those relevant to Australian industry and the community.

Key research areas include:
