Please find below the programmes of events for our new and returning students, starting on Monday 8 September 2014.

This project is all about multi-disciplinary collaboration - and capitalisation in a clinical setting of the many new vistas and opportunities that will arise. As such this research programme brings together a group of world class scientists (physicists, chemists, engineers and computer experts) and clinicians to design, make and test a cutting-edge bedside technology platform which will help doctors in the intensive care unit (ICU) make rapid and accurate diagnoses that would inform therapy and ensure patients get the right treatment, quickly. While we are developing our technology platform with a focus on ICU, it will also be applicable to a wide range of other healthcare situations.

Research Themes: 

  • Optical Systems and Materials
  • Sensors

The Vision of VELaSSCo is to provide new approaches for visual analysis of large-scale simulations for the Exabyte era. It does this by building on big data tools and architectures for the engineering and scientific community and by adopting new ways of in-situ processing for data analytics and hardware accelerated interactive visualization.

Research Themes: 

  • Granular Mechanics and Industrial Infrastructure

Signal Processing is fundamental to the capability of all modern sensor weapon systems and the Defence Technology Strategy identified the development and application of signal processing techniques as high priority technical challenges within the MOD research agenda.

The UDRC is a leading partnership between industry, defence and is academia led and focuses on sensor signal processing for defence.

Research Themes: 

  • Signal and Image Processing

To bring distributed multi-antenna wireless access to reality by combining two powerful emerging technologies:

  • radio remote heads (RRHs), which allow for widely geographically distributed access via radio-over-fibre connections to a central base station; and
  • electronically steerable passive array radiators – ESPARs, which provide multi-antenna-like functionality with a single active RF chain only

Research Themes: 

  • Communications
