Research Activities
The Computing Laboratory has a well deserved reputation for pursuing world class research.
Research Groups and Possible Research Projects
The Computing Laboratory houses seven major research groups. Every member of staff and postgraduate student is a member of a group, and cross-group research projects are encouraged. We welcome research collaboration and research students in a wide range of fields. The groups provide the supportive framework which is particularly important to someone starting out in research for the first time. They offer advice and guidance on how to approach the research (reading, planning), the technical aspects of the research, how to get your research published and help with preparing and practising talks.
Each research group has a list of possible research projects:
| Research group | Possible Research Projects |
|---|---|
| Computational Intelligence: | - projects |
| Computing Education: | - projects |
| Information Systems Security: | - projects |
| Programming Languages and Systems |
- projects |
