Research Centres
Our research centres are well-established, highly-focussed centres of thematic excellence with a critical mass of experienced researchers with numerous ongoing funded projects.
| Centres |
|---|
| Digital Imaging Research Centre (DIRC) Offering expertise in computer vision, image processing and computer graphics. |
| Mobile Information and Network Technologies (MINT) Focuses on research in areas of wireless communications and mobile technologies for health care. |
Research Groups
Our research groups, often inter-disciplinary, are smaller groups of researchers who combine together recent research interests to pursue a thematic research area. Such groupings will often cross the boundaries of centres and may include researchers in other Faculties.
| Research Groups |
|---|
| Component and Distributed Systems Research Group (CODIS) Software architectures supporting component-based and distributed applications with a special focus on generic, extensible and flexible systems. |
| Mobile Information Engineering and E-Med Systems (MOMED) Bio-information systems and the application of emerging mobile and network technologies for health care systems. |
| Visual Surveillance Research Group (VSRG) Monitoring, classifying and reasoning about people and vehicles in public environments. |
| Wireless Multimedia and Networking Research Group (WMN) Fundamental and applied research on wireless communications, networking and media streaming |
| Collaborative Groups |
|---|
| Bioimaging Group (BIG) Using light microscopy and image analysis to understand cell function and dynamic processes in cells. |
| Bioinformatics and Genomic Signal Processing (BioGSP) Analysis of genomics and proteomics data using statistical, machine learning and signal processing techniques developed in MINT and DIRC. |
