Centre for Autonomous Robotics
We are taking research beyond the lab to develop a new generation of smart, flexible, robust and interconnected robotic systems fit for use in the real world.
Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering research
We deliver interdisciplinary research in advanced sensors, bio-technologies, power, and radio and acoustic waves.
Our research centres and units
Our Department's research activities span the breadth of the latest thinking in electronic and electrical engineering and sciences.
Centre for Biosensors, Bioelectronics and Biodevices
We develop technologies to improve biomedical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, industrial bio-processes and our understanding of biological functions.
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.
Electronics Materials, Circuits & Systems Research Unit (EMaCS)
We advance technologies in electronics materials, circuits and systems to develop the sensors, power electronics and applications of the future.
Our research impact
From improving the accuracy of GPS to digitalising our electricity network, find out about the impact our research is having.
Visualising the last mile of electricity networks
Our methodologies can predict energy usage profiles and peak demand by monitoring only ~ 0.01% of the substations in an electricity distribution network.
Protecting critical infrastructure from extreme space weather and radio jamming
Through space-based communication research we’ve influenced public policy and security. Our algorithms help keep GPS systems functioning and accurate.
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.
Applying tomography in the energy sector
The oil industry can use imaging to detect different components within multiphase flows. Our research in this area led to the founding of two startup companies.
Facilities
We have a range of facilities available for students, researchers and companies to use.
