We are clearly on the verge of Industry 4.0. The European Commission is investing on European Industry digitalisation not only to improve competitiveness but also to reach climate-neutrality. Indoor Positioning (IP) will play a key role in Industry 4.0 by, for instance...

Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) holds great potentials for road safety and efficiency, but two major barriers need to be removed before its potentials can be fully unleashed: significantly enhanced vehicle to vehicle (eV2V) services with millimetre wave (mmWave)...

BioConTact will engineer electrical conductors with a controllable biodegradability that are flexible, lightweight, scalable, and produced with readily available materials. The tunable degradation will be finely controlled through the material formulation. Thus, this unique...

Design and development of biomaterial based wearable, conformable and planar microwave antenna for biomedical, communication and telemetry application is proposed in this project. The project targets a new innovative field comprising of Material science, Microwave Engineering...

We are living in a world where connected devices outnumber human population, and this trend keeps growing: around 24.6 billion connections are forecasted in 2025—more than three times the estimated population. This gives rise to the Internet of Things (IoT) in which...

Existing quantum computers are on the verge of solving practical problems that are intractable for classical computers. The obstacles that are holding current generation quantum computers back are their limited number of qubits and the presence of noise, both of which prohibit...

This proposed research examines the ways in which Western states’ receding commitment to refugee protection is re-shaping the current asylum system. As a result of ongoing global refugee crises, the institution of asylum is coming under great pressure. Countries across the...

The objective of StaMACS is to uncover the dynamics of an active and loosely packed magnetic colloidal crystal. This system will consist of repulsive paramagnetic particles immersed in a bath of light-driven bacteria. We will have two independent ways to tune the interactions:...

Detection of bowel cancer is currently performed by visual inspection of the colonic mucosa during endoscopy, which is less reliable for small-sized lesions that are not easily visualised. If they are not detected and removed at an early stage, there is a chance that they may...

The EU’s Urban Drainage Systems (UDS) have been valued at 2.5 trillion€. They are critical infrastructure providing flood risk reduction, safe sanitation by limiting contact between people and pathogens, and environmental protection by returning treated waste and storm...
