Centre for Biosensors, Bioelectronics and Biodevices
We develop technologies to improve biomedical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, industrial bio-processes and our understanding of biological functions.
Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering research
We deliver interdisciplinary research in advanced sensors, bio-technologies, power, and radio and acoustic waves.
Our research centres
Most of our Department's research falls under one of our four Centres. Their activities span the breadth of the latest thinking in electronic and electrical engineering and sciences.
Centre for Advanced Sensor Technologies (CAST)
We investigate a wide range of sensors and sensor related topics.
Centre for Space, Atmospheric and Oceanic Science
We study the environment of the Earth and near-Earth space and their effects on advanced technological systems
Centre for Sustainable Power Distribution (CSPD)
We develop innovative technical, commercial solutions underpinning smart homes/businesses, smart mobility and smart grids.
Our research impact
91% of our research activity was graded as either world-leading or internationally excellent in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014. Find out more about some of the impact our research is having.
Maximising the efficiency of electricity distribution networks
Our research into network charges influenced government policy, industrial practice and standards, leading to social, economic and environmental benefits.
Protecting GPS from solar storms
Researchers have developed imaging software that can warn of the effects and correct for GPS errors during solar storms.
Developing biosensor devices for better cancer diagnosis
Dr Pedro Estrela's research with the University of São Paulo develops novel biosensor technology for detecting early-stage prostate and breast cancer.
Policing the radio spectrum to protect critical national infrastructure
We developed better ways to detect and protect against GPS jamming. Our research has influenced policy and benefited industry.
Fast and accurate 3D x-ray image reconstruction for medical imaging
Our Tomographic Iterative GPU-based Reconstruction (TIGRE) toolbox combines MATLAB and CUDA software to improve medical imaging and cancer diagnosis.
Facilities
We have a range of facilities available for students, researchers and companies to use.
David Bullett Nanofabrication Facility
We provide access and training on specialist equipment for micro-scale and nano-scale fabrication for University of Bath researchers and external organisations.
