Research groups
Digital Media
The digital media group has interests in many areas of interactive multimedia and digital film and animation.
There is particular strength in web design and development, including e-commerce, e-learning, e-health; and the group has substantial experience in interaction design (e.g. usability and accessibility), social computing (e.g. social networking, computer mediated communication), mobile technology (e.g. iPhone), virtual worlds (e.g. Second Life) and video games. In the area of time-based media, the group has substantial interest in digital film capture and editing, and manipulation onto fully animated 3D modelling techniques as used in games and feature films.
Research Themes
* E-Learning Technology
* Medical Multimedia Applications and Telemedicine
* Human Computer Interaction and Social Computing
* Computer Animation and Digital Visual Effects
* Mobile Application Design and Development
* Digital Arts
Broadband and Wireless Communications
The group's activities cover system and component technologies from microwave to terahertz frequencies. These include photonics, antennas and wireless technologies for a broad range of communication systems. The group has extensive software research tools together with antenna anechoic chambers, network and spectrum analysers to millimetre wave frequencies and optical signal generation, processing and measurement facilities.

Instrumentation, Control and Embedded Systems
The Instrumentation, Control and Embedded Systems (ICES) research group comprises a mixture of well experienced and young and vibrant academics from the School of Engineering and Digital Arts and the School of Physical Sciences. The team works in three complementary research themes - Instrumentation, Control and Embedded Systems. The group has made considerable endeavours to solve challenging scientific and technological problems with a range of industrial organisations through applied research programmes funded through the UK Government and with many European countries through EU-funded research programmes. The group's expertise lies primarily in sensors, instrumentation, image processing, signal processing, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), neural networks, robust control and estimation, and embedded system design. Since 2001 the group has published more than 150 peer reviewed journal papers and over 360 refereed conference papers in addition to 26 patents. More than 30 PhD research students have graduated from the group since 2001.
