City University London, School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences
Research
The School supports single discipline applied
and basic research in the areas of strength
and promotes multidisciplinary research. The
multidisciplinary approach to research is based
around an integration of applied research,
research in generic technologies and fundamental
research. The key areas of applied research
are energy, environment, transportation,
construction, management and business and
biomedical processes. These are supported by
research into the generic technologies of optical
instrumentation, sensors, communications,
and image processing, fundamental research
in systems, control, computational fluid
dynamics operational research, mathematics and
computations which underpin these activities.
The Research Centres:
Construction Processes
Energy and Transport
Instrumentation and Sensors
Mathematics
Systems and Control
This structure encourages development of
interdisciplinary activities which build on major
activities of strength. Centres are led by senior
and experienced academics facilitating research
by providing a forumfor all research activities,
the mentoring and support of staff and students,
management and allocation of research funds
and the promotion of a more exible culture
that responds quickly and efciently to research
initiatives. The focus is on selected elds,
including; energy, transport, the environment,
instrumentation, construction processes,
mathematics, systems and control, complex
engineering and biomedical engineering.
The research basis is augmented by the cross
discipline initiatives of Transportation Hub, Cyber
and Security Science Centre, and Complexity
Science Group, which provide the launching basis
for future research activities. We strongly encourage
interdisciplinary activities in collaboration with
other Schools. A common underlying factor has
been the partnership with industry, linked to
the strategic plans of the University to promote
research which informs policy and professional
practice, in exploiting the challenges in newelds
of applications and in developing fundamental
research in selected areas of real value to the
economy and society.

I was an undergraduate of Mechanical Engineering at
City University London, and took modules in energy
management and renewable energy. These modules made
me see how I could apply my engineering skills to a real
life scenario and make a difference whilst doing so.
My postgraduate study at City gave me a great insight into
the theory of energy management and exposure to people
already working in the eld. It allowed me to broaden
my environmental radar and helped me understand all
elements of the built environment to prepare me for my
current role.
I work as Energy Manager Group Services at Sainsburys
and I am accountable for managing the energy and the
forecasting process for all group properties, including
leading specialist service providers for bill validation and
data provision.
Alongside this, I am leading Sainsburys biggest environmental
behavioural change programme through the Sainsburys
Carbon Academy, targeted to train 20,000 colleagues,
contractors and suppliers by 2020.

Engineering
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
is one of the most vibrant branches of
engineering with a history of almost
continuous innovation. This is a eld of
engineering that in general deals with
the study and application of electricity,
electronics and electromagnetism.
Electrical Engineering is considered to
deal with the problems associated with

generation and transmission), while
electronic engineering deals with the
study of small-scale electronic systems
(including computers and integrated
circuits) which are electrical devices

this distinction has faded through the
development of new applications (micro
