Centre for Innovative Structures and Materials
The Centre for Innovative Structures and Materials (CISM) researches and develops novel structures and materials for a sustainable future.



We have carried out extensive research on structural and material optimisation techniques. These have been used around the world by engineers and architects to design innovative buildings and bridges, and to create new microstructures of materials and composites.
