MAPS Enterprise Videos showcasing innovative research

The Faculty of Mathematics and Physical Sciences (MAPS) with support of Innovation & Enterprise (BIP IND 2017-20) have produced short videos on five innovative interdisciplinary research groups that are seeking engagement with industry and end-users to widen the impact of their funded projects. If you are interested in finding out more about a project or collaborating please get in touch. Contact details for each project are available at the end of each video.

Smart Manufacturing of Nanoparticles for Healthcare (EPSRC grant ref: EP/M015157/1)

The MAFuMA project lead by Prof. Asterios Gavriilidis focuses on the synthesis of high-value nanomaterials which can be used in a range of settings. This video describes research into the robust and scalable manufacturing of nanoparticles for healthcare applications.

UCLQ (EPSRC grant ref: EP/S021582/1)

In this video Prof. John Morton and Prof. Paul Warburton discuss the breath of UCLQ research and educational activities as well as the opportunities for engagement with UCLQ. Dr. Lia Li also talks about how her work led to the founding of a spinout company.

Juiced Energy Hub: From Discovery to Scale Up (EPSRC grant ref: EP/R023662/1)

The Juiced Energy Hub is led by Prof. Jawwad Darr focuses on the discovery and scale-up manufacture of energy materials for devices. This video describes how the project’s cutting edge research has been used to accelerate the development of new sustainable materials.

i-sense: Agile Early Warning Sensing Systems for Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Resistance (EPSRC grant ref: EP/R00529X/1)

This video focuses on i-sense, an interdisciplinary project led by Prof. Rachel McKendry working on engineering a new generation of agile and globally impactful early warning sensing systems for infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. The video describes some of i-sense's technologies, applications and working with end-users.

DATA-CENTRIC (EPSRC grant ref: EP/S001476/1)

This video describes the work of DATA-CENTRIC led by Dr. Alex Diaz on delivering more traceable, transparent and more efficient computational simulations. It also highlights how academics can work alongside industry to help solve industrial challenges.
