Our research

The Department's research activities are focused in seven main thematic areas: 

•  High performance embedded systems
• Biomedical 
•  Defence and security 
•  Energy systems 
•  Intelligent and autonomous systems 
• MEMS, sensors, and devices 
• Big data

Research is organised across five broad groups. Each group collaborates widely with partners in industry and other research institutions, and each is supported by a range of funding sources.
