Research areas

Engineering Faculty

Our research areas stem from applied research with a fundamental understanding of real-world issues affecting the minerals and energy resources sector.

Geomechanics

This theme focuses on fundamental and applied geomechanics related to the mining and oil & gas industries. Our interest is oriented towards improving safety performance through alternative mine design/methods, ground control technologies, improvements of ground support techniques, rock excavation and stability, rock excavation machine control, tunn

Transformative technologies

This theme focuses on integrating advanced technologies and operational excellence to accelerate the transformation of the minerals and energy resources sectors. Of particular interest is to adopt scientific knowledge and emerging technologies from other disciplines tailored for the minerals and energy resources sectors. This includes monitoring an

Geoenergy

This theme focuses on fundamental and applied research related to the oil & gas industry. Of particular interest are technologies that improve recovery and provide new insights into the production of natural gas. Traditional knowledge and expertise in petroleum production will drive new technologies related to the geological storage of CO2, product
