Advanced Composites Manufacturing Centre (ACMC) is a leading composites facility based in the School of Engineering. Launched in 1987, we're constantly active across a wide range of projects, bridging the traditional gap between academic research and development and the needs of industry. We work with large and small companies on projects including: implementing new technology improving processes testing materials and components solving manufacturing and materials problems. What are...

The AIR provides consultation and first line support in a wide range of Bio-imaging technologies in the IGMM. We also strive to be innovators and through participation in interdisciplinary partnerships such as ESRIC (the Edinburgh Super-resolution Interdisciplinary Consortium - together with Heriot Watt) and others. We provide scientific consultation, access to and training for a range of BioImaging technologies including: Confocal Microscopy, Super-resolution imaging, Light Sheet imaging, Fast...

The AMRC researches and advances manufacturing technology in the following areas: Machining Castings Additive Manufacturing Composite Manufacturing Design & Prototyping Integrated Manufacturing Manufacturing Intelligence Medical Manufacturing Metrology Microscopy Structural Testing Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality Training Centre

Home to several leading research centres, the Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) Research Group is globally recognised to be at the forefront of research in manufacturing technologies and systems. Whether developing an existing product or creating a new one as a result of new advanced methods, our research portfolio addresses a number of challenges faced by society today; from investigating the use of robotics in surgical procedures to developing new smart solutions for assembly of aircraft...

Provides confocal and Electron microscopy resources to the Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre.

In Vitro imaging of embryos and cells that do not tolerate transport to external core facilities.

On site imaging allows researchers to multitask during longer duration sessions.

We provide a comprehensive Advanced Research Computing (ARC) support service for researchers in all faculties at the University of Leeds. The service consists of a large High Performance Computing (HPC or Supercomputing) resource consisting of several clusters which are used for all forms of predictive modelling, data analysis and simulation which are too large, too complex or too time consuming to be performed on a Desktop PC. In addition, we can support researchers in the use of Cloud...

The building is fitted out with state of the art equipment and research facilities, including advanced characterisation facilities, which will provide a unique national resource and provide a critical mass of research excellence that positions the UK at the forefront of the international materials research agenda. The Centre’s research combines disciplines of materials, physics, chemistry, mechanical and chemical engineering, manufacturing, mathematics, statistics and computer science to address...

ACTRIS is a pan-European initiative to produce long-term, high-quality observations of aerosols, clouds and trace gases across a network of European sites. Societal and environmental challenges, such as air quality, health, sustainability and climate change, increasingly require a diverse range of measurements to underpin policy initiatives. ACTRIS will help to solve such challenges by providing a platform for researchers to combine their efforts more effectively, and by providing observational...

The Airborne Geosciences Facility was established to support environmental & geoscientific research and teaching through the development, integration and operation of advanced airborne sensing technologies deployed on both manned and unmanned aircraft. We operate our own ECO-Dimona light aircraft alongside a fleet of small unmanned aircraft systems, and a suite of remote sensing and atmospheric instruments. Our stated goal is to provide the core capability to promote and develop an...
