The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has put £70m of its budget into equipment (£30m) and projects (£40m) amongst 18 UK universities.
The equipment includes ultra-bright lasers, electron microscopes and advanced x-ray imaging.
Projects include:
£4.5m for ‘SeeBiByte’ at the University of Oxford which will develop computer vision methods that are able to analyse, describe and search image and video content “with human-like capabilities and far beyond”, said the EPSRC.
The work could have applications in healthcare, surveillance, environmental monitoring of roads, and managing home digital media. It is partly funded by the RCUK Digital Economy Programme.
£2.3m for ‘Or-Master’ at the Universities of Lancaster and Stirling to develop modelling techniques to add capacity at airports by unravelling the complexity of slot allocation.
The projects are:
Engineering
- SynFabFun: From membrane material synthesis to fabrication and function, Newcastle University, £4.5m.
- Mobile Robotics: Enabling a pervasive technology of the future, University of Oxford, £5m.
Physical Sciences
- Control of spin and coherence in electronic excitations in organic and hybrid organic/inorganic semiconductor structures, University of Cambridge, £5.1m.
- Reactive plasmonics optical control of electronic processes at interfaces for nanoscale physics, chemistry and metrology, King’s College London, £4.8m.
- Addrfss: Atomically deterministic doping and readout for semiconductor solotronics, University of Surrey, £6.4m.
Maths
- Or-Manster: Mathematical models and algorithms for allocating scarce airport resources, University of Lancaster, £2.3m.
- Symmetries and correspondences: intra-disciplinary developments and applications, University of Nottingham, £2.3m.
ICT
- SeeBiByte: Visual Search for the era of big data, University of Oxford, £4.5m.
- Vada: Value added data systems – principles and architecture, University of Oxford, £4.6m.
