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.
Revolutionary biodevice technology to combat COVID-19 and future outbreaks
Our researchers are developing unique lab-on-chip technology for faster and more accurate detection and diagnosis of COVID-19.
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.
