The Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) Research Group was established in 1995 at the South East Technological University under the leadership of Mr Joe Phelan. Research in the AMT area is carried out at Masters and PhD level and is underpinned by a very active undergraduate project support structure.
Funding is through support and sponsorship from local and national industry and through the national competitive research grant system. The AMT Research Group is the longest established research grouping in SETU Waterford and has a long list of successes in terms of graduates, funding and sustainable technical development.
