Combining expertise in different fields of science is a way to respond to industry’s increasing need to develop new technologies and innovations. In the Faculty of Technology, research crosses the boundaries between different departments and fields of technology. To fulfil the expectations of industries, the faculty also operates in close cooperation with LUT’s School of Business and Faculty of Technology Management.
The faculty also has a top research group in scientific computing, which has been appointed as a centre of excellence by the Academy of Finland. The research group collaborates with all technical fields of expertise at the university concerning issues in industrial mathematics, and especially mathematical modelling. This supports the development of novel industrial technologies in a significant way.
