Smart Grid is the emerging next-generation power grid concept that uses two-way flows of electricity and information to create a widely distributed automated energy delivery network. Read more
This project aims to leverage the advances in ultrasonic testing, including optical fibre-based distributed acoustic sensing and physics-enhanced machine learning, to increase the reliability of nuclear waste storage monitoring. . Read more
Today, wireless cellular networks rely heavily on the core network to deliver services. This introduces latency and other inefficiencies. Next generation networks will be much more edge centric, enabling ultra-reliable low latency (URLLC) services to be delivered. This requires a fundamental rethink in how edge-centric cellular networks should be delivered. Read more
Supervisory Team: Dr Natalie Wheeler, Prof Radan Slavík, Dr Martynas Beresna. Project Description. We are looking for a new PhD student to join our growing team, working on the design and development of next generation optical fibres to enable novel distributed gas sensing networks. Read more
This project will investigate advanced strategies for the design, integration and optimization of hybrid wind/photovoltaic/battery systems for distributed power generation. Read more
Aircraft electrical power systems (AEPSs) are undergoing significant changes to meet the demands of increasing electrical loads. Progress is driven by ambitious targets in the reduction of fuel burn (of 40%) and emissions (of 80%) set by the US Federal Aviation Administration and the European Commission for 2020+. Read more
AI-enabled IoT systems are becoming an essential and integral part of our daily lives. For example, systems like e-health, smart homes, and smart manufacturing have already demonstrated a huge impact. Read more
Aircraft research is in a state of transition, with a much broader range of possible new aircraft technologies under investigation than ever before. Read more
The Mediterranean is one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots and has a high degree of endemism. This hyperdiversity has led to much conservation attention being lavished on rare, narrowly distributed species. Read more
Background . Soil degradation and erosion is a worldwide problem. Intensive agriculture has depleted carbon and aggregates, causing drainage issues, flooding and nutrient loss, and, therefore, poor crop production. Read more
Current agricultural systems are unsustainable. Crop diseases cause estimated yield losses of 20-40% annually. Disease is likely to increase with climate change and loss of agrochemicals, hence alternative methods of crop protection are essential. Read more
