The Drone Technologies and Sensing (DTS) research area combines some of the latest research from the General Engineering Research Institute (GERI) in the field of state-of-the-art drone technology, alongside well established research streams in optical measurement and sensing that have a long history of sustained research excellence.
The Centre for Natural Products Discovery is concerned with preventing and curing disease. Find out about about the discovery and production of antibiotics and other bioactive molecules from microbial sources, and assessment of antimicrobial mechanism of actions.
The Centre for Natural Products Discovery is concerned with preventing and curing disease. Find out about investigating natural products and their toxicity, particularly in their ability to cause toxicity to cancer cells in an effort to identify new potential cancer chemotherapeutic leads.
The Industrial Design Group has been focusing on human-centred design research that applying Human Factors theory to optimise human well-being and overall system performance.
The Sensors and Communications group carry out applied research in collaboration with industries.
The Applied Forensic Technology Research (AFTeR) Group is interested in all aspects of the application of technology within the field of forensic work. A particular focus is on audio and video forensics.
Researchers from the Microelectronics Research Group are investigating new technologies and materials. Members from the Group are also exploring ‘show-stoppers’ for optimizing digital/analogue circuits.
