Research in the Faculty of Computing
Our research is applied, relevant to industry and often carried out in collaboration with external partners. We have particular strengths in mathematics and statistics, communications technology, knowledge management, intelligent systems and media design for interaction. The Faculty included more than 30 research active staff in the UK Research Assessment Exercise (2008), resulting in half of our Computer Science and Informatics research being classified as internationally recognised or internationally excellent; and most of the Pure Mathematics and Statistics research being rated as internationally excellent or world class. In recent years, our research, development and knowledge transfer projects have attracted funding from, amongst others: European Union; Joint Information Systems Committee; Higher Education Academy; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council; and British Broadcasting Corporation. Much of our work is carried out in conjunction with industry. We are proactive in forming external links and partnerships and in bringing contemporary research material into our degree programmes for the benefit of our students and their employability.
Our research is carried out in the following research centres and groups:
