Sensors and Monitoring

Measurable progress

Work in this field is yielding new sensor and monitoring technologies from previous research. There are substantial industry applications.

Projects, which draw in staff from across the University's science and engineering departments, are taking place in areas including:-

• surface science imaging
• nuclear sensors and detection
• nanoparticulate measurement
• signal processing methods

The potential for commercialising developments is considerable, in sectors such as renewable energy, data comms, ICT, nuclear and industrial equipment.

This is leading to new patents, products and partnerships.
