Beyond the real world
Virtual and augmented reality touch almost all aspects of human life, supporting social interaction and enhancing individual capability in work and recreation. Our work in computer graphics, vision, and imaging enables truly immersive experiences – as real as real. Our work in human computer interaction ensures benefit and comfort to the human user.
Computer programs that always work
Critical applications in finance, aerospace or medicine must not fail – but traditional software development and maintenance can’t avoid bugs. Our work on verification logics, system design and automatic fault-correction ensures the correct and efficient implementation of evolving software systems.
Computing on a shoestring
Computer technology has as much to offer the developing world as developed countries. Our work in ubiquitous computing brings reliable communication and sensor networks to impoverished locations. Our work in digital health designs cheap, accurate and compact devices for use in urban and rural healthcare centres. Our work on Global Challenges brings together multidisciplinary teams Worldwide providing innovative digital approaches to achieve and sustain global development goals and tackle inequality.
Individualised healthcare
Personalised medicine identifies risks or interventions based on an individual’s profile. Our work on medical imaging and data analysis enables the precise matching of patients to treatment, identifying groups for effective drug trials. Digital health research empowers individuals to monitor and maintain well-being.
Beyond human capability
An internet for one trillion users
The majority of internet users are no longer human – our networks research will underpin internet architecture to support the huge flow of traffic from autonomous devices. Our privacy researchers devise protocols that make the internet safe in sensitive applications such as finance and health.
Computing the Universe
Alternative computing platforms could break the limits of calculations possible using traditional silicon computers, conjuring the possibility of simulating the universe or predicting the financial market. Our work on quantum computing, biological computing and large-scale cluster computing designs algorithms to exploit these future platforms.
