Artificial intelligence
We research the relationship between natural and artificial intelligence.
Department of Computer Science research
Our research is strongly interdisciplinary and combines practical application with a theoretical understanding.
Research groups
We research systems-wide issues in computer science ranging from mathematical foundations through visual and cognitive processes to artificial intelligence, human-centred design and collaborative systems.
Human-computer interaction
We explore the interactions between computer systems and their human users.
Mathematical foundations of computation
We explore the relationship between mathematics and computer science.
Visual computing
We work at the intersection of computer vision and computer graphics.
Research centres
Our research spans a number of fields and we work together in cross-disciplinary centres.
Centre for the Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research and Applications (CAMERA)
We create advanced motion tracking technologies for use in the entertainment industry, training and athlete performance, and assistive technologies.
REality and Virtual Environments Augmentation Labs (REVEAL)
We are an interdisciplinary centre researching virtual and augmented reality technology.
