Data Science and AI for Engineering and Physical Sciences
Engineering and the physical sciences have always been data-driven areas. However, with the rise of industry 4.0, combining data, physical and mathematical models has enabled much more realistic simulations and monitoring of complex systems.
Our expertise spans digital chemistry to social robotics and human-computer interaction, as well as significant world-leading research into energy control, forecasting and behaviour and environmental data analytics. Our researchers investigate AI for mobile and next generation communications, including privacy protection and facial recognition tools to safeguard our data.
Engineers work on a wide array of problems supported by AI including electronics design and application, computational mechanics, sensors and sensor networks, and critical infrastructure analysis. Our physicists use machine learning and AI to empower gravitational wave detection and other remotely-sensed solar physics phenomena, as well as next generation imaging techniques using quantum technology. Our expansive remit in this programme also includes investigating missing data, complex data fusion, the impact of climate change and spatial modelling of species distribution.
