Computational Intelligence and Visual Computing (CIVC)
Computational and machine intelligence applications often involve photographs, videos and fragile data types with subtle details that are difficult to see and perceive. Sophisticated solutions need to be developed to extract precious information for the purpose of making an accurate decision.

Digital technologies are increasingly being used across the education sector, but have we really embraced their potential to enhance educational practice and transform the learning experience? Our research focuses on how we can reimagine education by using digital technology in transformational ways.

Data and information form the lifeblood of modern society. We take a multidisciplinary and multidimensional approach to the study of data and information to explore the way they are created, used and managed in specific personal and organisational contexts.
Discover moreNetwork Systems and Security (NetSyS)
Network systems are embedded into every aspect of our digital living, enabling inter-connectivity between devices, applications, services and people for extraction, transfer and exchange of information. We engage in cutting-edge research to design and develop end-to-end secure and reliable networking systems.
