Collaborations
Much of the work in adhesives has been in collaboration with IVF, the Swedish Institute for Production Engineering Research. Collaborations with NIST, USA have focused on solder flow modelling. EOL management collaborators have included Georgia Tech and Purdue University.

Work in the business area builds on collaboration with the Harvard Business School. Collaboration in flip-chip technology has included Georgia Tech and City University, Hong Kong.

The group is also part of the European Adhesives in Electronics Network. National collaborations have included Cambridge, Greenwich, Imperial College London, King's College London, Queen's University Belfast and Salford.

There are a number of other members of Manufacturing Engineering that have complementary interests to the group, Dr Andrew West (with skills in the application of control engineering techniques) and Dr's Roy Jones and Paul Leaney (the investigators of a series of teaching companies with Celestica).

 

e-medic
e-medic seeks to explore the technological and business potential of integrating advanced electronics and information technologies with improved drug formulations into non-invasive drug delivery devices, and their exploitation to maximum benefit in healthcare. A platform device is researched based upon a pulmonary delivery system that is flexible, programmable, and potentially will provide remote patient monitoring through a distributed healthcare information system.

Droplet Welding
This project focuses on the development of a lead-free joining technology using metal droplets. Technological developments must not overlook environmental health and safety concerns. Traditional joining methods have often used solders of Pb-Sn composition, which are now intended to be phased out. Thus, novel processing methods must be sought to overcome this problem and provide a cleaner more effective solution.
