Research Groups
Communication Systems and Networks
The pervasive nature of communication systems requires a broad remit, so the group's research has an emphasis on end-to-end wireless connectivity through spectrum- and power-efficient techniques, whilst focusing on the following activities:
* Spatial Channel Measurements and Prediction
* Information Theory and Advanced Wireless Access
* Network Architecture and Cross-Layer Interaction
* Computational Electromagnets
* RF Technologies
Signal Processing
Our core research areas of coding and transport also include new parametric coding and analysis methods, distributed video coding and image fusion. The Group's activities fall in to three main areas:
* Efficient Algorithms and Architectures
* Error Resilience and Transport
* Image and Video Content Analysis
Electrical Energy Management
A growing emphasis on the efficient management of electrical energy focuses this research in to two main areas:
* More-Electric Technologies: modelling, design and optimisation of generators, motors and actuators for application in hybrid-electric vehicles and renewable energy conservation.
* Low-Power Systems: design and system level modelling of vibration energy-harvesting devices and power electronic devices and circuits.
Photonics
Cutting-edge research within the Photonics group focuses on three key areas:
* Photonic Quantum Information: secure quantum key distribution, photon sources and quantum gates.
* Optical Communications: optical transmission and optical switching technologies.
* Photonic Materials and Devices: low dimensional semiconductor quantum structures, photonic device fabrication and characterisation.
