Overview
Research activities are all in a broad range of aeroelastic design optimization, aerodynamic load control, and fluid-structure interaction problems. The focus is on the next four main themes:

* Dynamics and control of very flexible aircraft.

* Aeroelastic optimization and aerodynamic load control in large wind turbines and wind farms.

* Computational methods for high-fidelity optimisation and reduced-order modelling in nonlinear aeroelasticity
