Research Clusters In The College of Engineering
The College of Engineering at UH Manoa has a diverse faculty employed in over 80 distinct research areas in three main departments: Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. As the College faculty pursue these interests they naturally team together to pursue larger projects and opportunities. In this document we describe eight areas, or research clusters, where the College is putting special emphasis.
Of course, the College continues to work on it’s traditional areas of expertise, including structural engineering, transportation engineering, materials engineering and fluid dynamics. But we have also begun a new chapter of cooperation with partners like the Institute for Astronomy at UH Ma¬noa, on emerging areas such as optical engineering.
THE EIGHT RESEARCH CLUSTERS ARE:
- Autonomous, Unmanned Systems
- Bioengineering
- Coastal Infrastructure
- Communications, Radar and Cyber Physical Systems
- Computer Engineering and Computer Modeling & Simulation
- Recycling, Re¬manufacturing and Corrosion
- Renewable Energy
- Water, Waste and Environmental Engineering
These areas have been chosen to reflect faculty interest and expertise as well as the evolving needs of Hawai‘i. They also represent some of the main interests of the College’s collaborators in these research efforts, inside the university, in the local Hawai‘i community and further afield. The College is especially interested in extending these relationships to local companies, U.S. mainland universities, Asian universities and other potential partners.
We have listed two faculty members who serve as leaders for each research cluster as well as many of the faculty involved in these efforts. We invite the reader to contact these faculty members directly to gain more information and explore possible partnership opportunities.
