Identification of tree species based on UAV captured images

Computer Computer vision technology has been found to be an important application in remotely sensed data understanding. This research exploits high‐resolution images captured by UAV payload cameras to identify tree species. Read more

Vehicle Re-Identification Using Self-Supervised Vision Transformers

Vehicle re-identification (Re-ID) is one of the primary components of an automated visual surveillance system. It aims to automatically identify/search vehicles in a multi-camera network usually having non- overlapping field-of-views. Read more

Next Generation of Low Power Wireless Communication for Internet of Things

Internet of Things greatly extends coverage area that human being is able to perceive, access, and even control. By connecting various “Things” to the Internet, the physical world is possible to be measured and managed as needed. Read more

Intrusion Detection for industrial Internet of Things

With the development of the Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT), an increasing number of industrial control systems (ICSs) are connected to the Internet and in danger of being attacked. Read more

Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems Safety and Security

Industrial cyber-physical systems (iCPS) may suffer security risk from cyber space and safety risk from physical space. iCPS develop strategies based on safety and security (S&S) requirements to reduce risks from cyber and physical spaces. Read more

Development of lung in vitro model to assess antimicrobial activity

When developing new inhaled antibiotics to treat lung infections, they will need to be tested before being given to humans. Current methods to test inhaled antibiotics are based on animals which are both inhumane and lack efficacy. Read more

Biomechanics and wearable sensors

Project Overview. Movement analysis and recording in humans has been confined to dedicated gait and motion capture facilities, but this only records movements for a single part of one day in an unusual environment. Read more

Interactions between introduced tree species and native mycorrhizal fungi in the UK

Mycorrhizal symbioses are one of the most extensive and important biotic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems, typically providing plants with improved access to nutrients in exchange for carbohydrates produced via photosynthesis. Read more

Net zero housing retrofits - assuring a sustainable low-carbon transition in the domestic sector

The UK has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The UK's 29 million houses represent 14% of total emissions (CCC, 2019), with nearly 90% of these built more than 20 years ago before stricter energy efficiency standards came into force (Ince & Marvin, 2019). Read more

Impacts of oversizing on the performance of energy and environmental systems

Heating, cooling, and ventilation systems in buildings are often sized at capacities exceeding the demand for these services. This can result in inefficient operation, higher initial and operational costs, and larger environmental impacts. Read more

Controlling airborne infectious disease transmission in indoor environment

Infectious disease pandemics are brutal killers in human history. The recent COVID-19 outbreak in China has killed over 2.4K people globally, and more than 78K people are infected across 28 countries (As of 22th Feb 2020). Read more

Decarbonisation of the Food System

As the world transitions to a low carbon economic system, dramatic changes will be required across the all sectors. The food system, which is currently estimated to be responsible for 20-30% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is one where particular urgency is required. Read more
