Optical devices and subsystems

This research area focuses on the design, modelling, fabrication, processing and evaluation of new or improved devices and systems whose quantum unit is the photon.

EPSRC

Optoelectronic devices and circuits

This research area looks at the design, modelling, fabrication and processing of new or improved active semiconductor-based devices and systems that use electrons and photons.

EPSRC

Particle astrophysics

The Science and Technology Facilities Council particle astrophysics programme is helping to answer some of the fundamental questions of the Universe. It focuses on gravitational waves, gamma ray astronomy, neutrinos and the search for dark matter.

STFC

Particle physics

STFC supports UK physicists working on particle physics projects across the world. It includes funding STFC facilities such as the particle physics department at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and contributing to international facilities such as CERN.

STFC

Particle technology

This research area encompasses growth, formation, processing, measurement, characterisation and multi-scale modelling of dry or wet particulate systems and fluid-particle systems.

EPSRC

Pathways to antimicrobial clinical efficacy (PACE)

Pathways to antimicrobial clinical efficacy (PACE) aims to accelerate early-stage translational innovation to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It will support early-phase antimicrobial and diagnostic projects that address the world’s most threatening pathogens, moving innovations faster towards clinical trials and to people affected by antimicrobial resistance.

Innovate UK

Performance and inspection of mechanical structures and systems

Development, analysis, monitoring and optimisation of mechanical structures and systems.

EPSRC

Peruvian glacial retreat and its impact on water security and resilience to natural hazards

The aim of this programme is to provide an improved understanding of the rate of glacial retreat in Peru and its impact on water security and natural hazards.

NERC

Pervasive and ubiquitous computing

This research area refers to the integration of computing into everyday objects to create systems which support concepts such as the Internet of Things, edge computing and the tactile internet.

EPSRC

Photonic materials

This research area covers the synthesis, characterisation and theoretical understanding of materials and nanostructures that emit or interact with electromagnetic radiation or quasiparticles with similar characteristics.
