Course Summary

Our research activity and supervision for PhD Electronic Systems Engineering is concentrated in the following principal research areas: audio and video networking multimedia architectures and applications data communications and networking RF engineering radio radar and electromagnetics propagation video image processing computer vision Our cross-disciplinary projects draw on the expertise of our electronic engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists, and psychologists. We are one of the largest and best resourced schools in the UK. Our work is supported by extensive networked computer facilities and software aids, together with a wide range of test and instrumentation equipment. Our research covers a range of topics, from semiconductor device physics, the theory of computation and the philosophy of computer science, computational intelligence and computer games, to artificial intelligence and robotics, with most of our research groups based around laboratories offering world-class facilities. Our impressive external research funding stands at multi-million pounds per year and we participate in a number of EU initiatives and undertake projects under contract to many outside bodies, including government and industrial organisations. We also offer an MPhil and a Masters by dissertation in this subject. Full-time and part-time research study is available.
