The University of York is embarking on ground-breaking research that focuses on data-centric engineering, digital twins, and AI, revolutionizing the way systems are designed and optimized through data. Read more
Generative AI in 6G and beyond networks
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
As the world anticipates the rollout of 6G networks, there's a growing need to explore innovative technologies that can empower these networks to meet the evolving demands of connectivity. Read more
Electrifying Cells! Exploring the role of bioelectronic stimulation and bioelectric signalling, with a focus on influencing stem cell behaviour
Electrical stimulation of cells and tissues has been observed to help with healing processes, for example in bone regeneration. Within the NHS, some fracture clinics use electrical stimulation as a to promote healing, often when other methods fail. Read more
Information retrieval from room acoustic measurements
Acoustic measurements of rooms carry a lot of useful information regarding the room geometry, objects and furnishing, presence and movements of humans, and the atmospheric conditions and stability of the room environment. Read more

Intelligent microsystems – Micro-sensors with in-sensor computing capabilities
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
In the era of Internet-of-Things (IoT), there will be an astronomical amount of data generated from numerous sensors worldwide. It is extremely insecure, power-inefficient, and time-consuming to transfer all the data between sensor nodes and computing units frequently. Read more
High-lifespan many-core devices
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Switching activity and other technology-related parameters have a significant effect on circuit aging and can therefore affect the lifespan of devices. Read more
Multi-Fidelity Modelling of Rechargeable Battery Degradation
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Rechargeable batteries play a key role in electric vehicles and transition to net zero. One of the current challenges in batteries is degradation, which causes capacity retention and resistance increase as the battery cycles. Read more
