Welcome to EEE

Dear students,

I'm pleased to welcome you to the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Impactful research is at the heart of our research community. Through high quality research we hope to provide solutions that have a positive impact on the world, ranging from improving the flow of data via wireless communications, renewable energy production and storage, improved efficiency and accuracy of manufacturing and the electrification of transport.

The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering belongs to the prestigious Faculty of Engineering, which is one of the largest academic communities of engineers in the UK, ranked joint 1st in the UK for Research Environment in the last Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021). Our specific discipline (EEE) is also ranked very highly, which is a marker of our excellence and ambition (QS 2024: 11th in UK, The Guardian 2024: 3rd, The Times Higher 2024: 7th in the UK ). 

We are home to several national institutes and centres (e.g. National Epitaxy Facility, The National 6G Radio Systems Facility, Rolls-Royce Control, Monitoring and Systems Engineering University Technology Centre) and we strive to conduct fundamental research and innovation to address global challenges, as well as support the education of the next generation of engineers.

Our successes have been realised through strong teamwork between academics and researchers like yourself.  Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to do the best research that you can and I hope you will have a wonderful experience as a research student in the School.

Professor George Panoutsos - Head of School
