Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering. The 3ME Faculty trains committed engineering students, PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers in groundbreaking scientific research in the fields of mechanical, maritime and materials engineering. 3ME is the epitome of a dynamic, innovative faculty, with a European scope that contributes demonstrable economic and social benefits.
The Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME) conducts cutting-edge research and delivers scientific education in the field of precision mechanical engineering. It focuses on applications in high-tech systems and micro- and nanosystem technology by combining a multitude of physics principles with fundamental mechanical research and computational engineering.
The vision is to integrate the new domains of micro- and nanoscience into mechanical engineering to create devices which serve society, the environment and humankind. This is achieved through engineering of and for systems on an extreme scale with subnanometre details, by studying both the micro- and nanodevices themselves and the high-technology tools required to create them.
PhD in Topology Optimisation of Nanostructures
