The University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University are launching a new Centre for Doctoral Training Programme focussing on generation-after-next technologies for information processing in defence & security, spanning the entire range from hardware development to algorithmic AI development
The School of Engineering is to lead two doctoral training centres (CDTs) to equip PhD students with key skills needed by the defence and security and renewable energy sectors.
The University is set to establish two research hubs that will focus on developing AI tools to help revolutionise the fields of electronics and healthcare.
A team of researchers based in the School of Engineering have developed electronic skin that could pave the way for soft, flexible robotic devices to assist with surgical procedures or aid people’s mobility.
