Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Nanophotonics Group

We perform fundamental optical physics and materials research. This is critical for the discovery and development of new and improved optoelectronic technologies.

Vision, Learning and Control

Our work covers a range of technological areas from control, to machine learning and computer vision.
