Research in ECS

ECS-Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) is the leading university department of its kind in the UK, with an international reputation for world-leading research across computer science, electronics, and electrical engineering.

ECS is research-led, but also strives for excellence in teaching and in enterprise. Our main research strengths are our interdisciplinary and collaborative culture, which means that research expertise is wide-ranging, both in terms of the subject disciplines we cover, but also in terms of covering the spectrum from theoretical foundations through to the deployment of real-world applications.

There are around 540 researchers in ECS, making it one of the UK’s most exciting and successful academic research environments. Our research income is around £12M annually and our current research portfolio is worth about £42M.

All our researchers are based in one of our six research groups. You can find out more about our research projects and themes on our Research pages. Individual research profiles cover many of the academic staff in the School, and staff personal pages can be found from the People directory.
