The UK’s net zero strategy clearly emphasises the role of heat pumps, other renewable technologies (e.g., Solar PV/thermal, hydrogen), and EVs with an increased share of renewable electricity while keeping the security of supply in mind. 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
In 5G, ultra-reliable low-latency communication has been a backbone for various applications that need an extremely low delay. However, further research will be required to minimize the round trip delay and improve energy efficiency and security of user data in the 6G network [1]. Read more
This study explores the blockchain-enhanced architecture for training online models using federated learning (FL) in various interdisciplinary fields. Read more
The rise of Electric Vehicles (EVs) drives an increase in demand and rapid development of the charging infrastructure, where a charger interconnects with an EV and a charging provider as well as a site controller to authorise charging sessions and report any errors. Read more
The project is aimed at developing an open expert system for the end user and also for the developer to carry out the risk analysis involved in systems utilizing upcoming new energy technologies. Read more
In the upcoming era of sixth-generation (6G) networks, it is predicted that a wide range of low-power devices will have the capability to efficiently sense their surroundings and transmit data on a large scale. Read more
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
Closing date. 31st December 2025. This project, co-funded by QinetiQ, aims to develop advanced technologies for defence and security by creating a heterogeneous SiN-GaAs platform for a coherent Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) LiDAR operating at the 1-µm wavelength band. . Read more
This project will contribute to a major research initiative intended to develop generation-after-next technologies for applications in defence and security, and will be co-funded and supported by Ultra Maritime. Read more
This project is an exciting opportunity to undertake industrially linked research in partnership with the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC). Read more
