  2. Projects and case studies

    The General Engineering Research Institute (GERI) conduct a wide range of projects. Find out more about some of these research case studies here, including the phase unwrapping project, the laser doppler anemometry project, the PiE laser project and the icroelectronic packages project.

  3. PhD projects for Astrophysics studies starting in 2026

    Find out more about possible PhD projects for 2026 in the Astrophysics Research Institute. If your favourite topic is not in the list, we highly encourage you to contact staff in your fields of interest to discuss PhD projects.

  4. Expertise within the Astrophysics Research Institute

    The Astrophysics Research Institute specialist subject areas include theoretical galaxy formation, time domain astrophysics, stellar populations and astronomical instrumentation. Discover more about each of these areas.

  5. Galaxy formation and evolution

    The Galaxy Formation and Evolution Research Group looks at population studies of dwarf galaxies up to the most massive clusters of galaxies, supermassive black holes and detailed modelling of the internal structure of galaxies. Discover more about our expertise, who we work with and meet the researchers.

  6. Time domain astrophysics

    Within the time domain astrophysics research group, we are involved in major observational survey projects. We work on a variety of explosive transients, including galactic and extragalactic novae, type la supernovae, core collapse supernovae, and gamma rays bursts. The Liverpool Telescope is the workhorse of the group. Find out more about our research.

  7. Star formation and evolution and stellar populations

    By studying the gas and stars that shape the Milky Way as well as other galaxies in the local Universe, we can understand the life cycles of stars like our Sun, unravel the chemical enrichment history of the universe, and probe the existence of black holes across a wide mass spectrum.

  9. Beverston Enginnering

    Read more about the collaboration between Beverston Engineering and LCR 4.0 working closely together we were able to develop a package of work, concentrating upon technologies which could have significant impact upon component accuracy improvement and waste reduction within the CNC manufacturing process.

  10. Energy Fairies

    Read more about the collaboration between Energy Fairies and LCR 4.0 to further develop their Flutter Shutter solution. Notably the Energy Fairy team wanted to specifically concentrate upon iterative design and test development of their envisaged smart sun tracking feature.
