This project is focused on developing a new technology for upper limb neurorehabilitation combining functional electrical stimulation (FES) and extended reality (XR) - **v-health**. We propose that XR will improve engagement and motivation through immersive gamification, in addition to improved task performance through the use of FES. Together, they will ...

To develop an automated tool for the security of the Kubernetes platform, on which critical cloud infrastructure relies. The tool will be built on formal principles using rigorous mathematical techniques. It will empower companies to secure their critical infrastructure by minimising the risk of cyber threats in a cost-efficient manner.

Epilepsy is a brain condition characterized by the occurrence of seizures, significantly impacting the lives of those affected. This is especially the case when it is caused by genetic factors and manifests early in life. Despite current treatments, finding effective seizure control remains a challenge, underscoring the urgent need for innovative therapie...

In seeking to achieve decarbonisation, we face a challenge: while we're switching to renewable sources like solar and wind, there's a risk that this leads to higher electricity prices, hitting those who can't afford it the hardest. To make renewable energy work smoothly, we need special converters that turn sunlight and wind into usable electricity and ma...

Objects connect us to memories and experiences. They possess biographies that reveal their human relationships. This is why archaeologists focus on material culture, gathering countless archaeological finds to preserve what we can learn and the stories they create for current and future generations. Archaeology unlocks these stories, enabling objects to s...

This project seeks to develop a data-efficient vision-based AI process monitoring system to seamlessly assure additive manufacturing (AM) part quality in real-time, thereby accelerating AM adoption including in our case study of personalised pharmaceuticals. Our key innovation will address a fundamental challenge with AI systems: they typically need a lot...

Our project addresses the growing cybersecurity challenges posed by advanced computer vision and 3D modeling technologies, which have begun to compromise the reliability of facial recognition as a secure authentication method. In response, we are developing an innovative authentication system based on eye movement patterns. This non-invasive biometric app...

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is an effective fertility treatment which however remains out of reach for 60% of UK patients due to high costs, arising from the need for highly trained staff and bespoke laboratories. The NHS only funds limited IVF cycles, while private clinics are operating at near-full capacity. Radical, scalable solutions to cut IVF costs...

Diabetes Mellitus(DM) contributesto an estimated 11.3% of adult deaths worldwide. Approximately 1 in 10 adults globally are estimated to have DM and the prevalence will rise significantly over the coming decades, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. People with DM have a three-fold increased risk of developing TB, and two-fold higher risk of dying from TB or...

Corruption and undue influences are not only linked to democratic discontent but compromise the quality of democracy. But how exactly does political corruption operate today? How deep can its negative impact on democracy go? And how can anti-corruption efforts recover people’s support for democracy as a regime and promote their engagement with integrity a...

To develop an innovative carbon and biodiversity credit accreditation, monitoring and management platform that will enable smallholder farmers in Ghana finance the uptake and maintenance of a sustainable shea farming model that will improve primary crop production, availability and accessibility of healthy and nutritious food and contribute to farmers' in...

Clinical early warning scores (EWS) are widely used by hospital care teams to identify early signs of patient deterioration, to facilitate timely intervention. EWS intend to prompt early actions, such as increased nursing attention or informing clinicians for more intensive care. Traditional EWS, such as the commonly used NEWS2 score in NHS hospitals, iss...
