Investigating the environmental, population, and planetary health co-benefits of achieving net-zero
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
Sectoral decarbonisation, climate change, the environment, population health and planetary health are intrinsically linked. Read more
The missing link between protoplanetary discs and planetary systems
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Recent surveys led by our group have discovered a large number of yet unexplored exosolar analogues to our Kuiper belt – bright discs made of planetesimals and asteroids in orbit around their central stars. Read more
Autonomous cooperation of bio-inspired adaptable lightweight mobile robots
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Nanoscience
In challenging planetary environments such as Mars, a diverse range of terrains must be traversed to deliver sensing instruments and achieve scientific goals. Read more
Exploring The Utility of Transcriptomics Data in Toxicology
One of the challenges for the future of agriculture is to sustainable increase food production, using only the same or ideally less land area, to provide the quality and quantity required to meet the needs of an increasingly affluent & growing human population and simultaneously mitigating climate change and protecting or regenerating biodiversity.
