Brunel Design School research and PhD programmes

Research activities within the Brunel Design School cover a wide ranging and diverse field of topics. Academic staff combine human centred design for autonomous vehicles, ageing demographics and healthcare systems through incorporating sustainability in design. From developing cleaner electronics, design for 3D and 4D printing, and incorporating social responsibility, to using innovative design for creative industries and information architecture, our research paves the way for innovative solutions.
