Research highlights
Our academics undertake world-leading research achieving results that are original, informative, often surprising or questioning, always significant and that have an impact on wider society and within specialist areas of knowledge. Watch the clips below for a snapshot of our school's research activities.
Meta the Better
Professor Yang Hao and his team describe how metamaterials - artificial materials that have unusual properties not found in nature - could have an impact in all walks of life from invisible cloaks to improving antenna design.
Music in the heart
Researchers from the Centre of Digital Music have teamed with the medical community to improve the doctor's front line tool: the stethoscope.
Mood Glove: Haptic sensations to enhance mood music in Film
Mood Glove is a haptic wearable prototype for enhancing mood music in Film through haptic sensations. The prototype is the result of an ongoing research project aimed at designing expressive haptic sensations to enrich media. This is a research project by Antonella Mazzoni for the Media and Arts Technology Doctoral Training Centre, at Queen Mary University of London.
Centre for Digital Music - research at the intersection of Music, Audio and Technology
The Centre for Digital Music is a world-leading multidisciplinary research group in the field of Music & Audio Technology. Examples of research area covered: Artificial Intelligence, Audio Engineering, Augmented Instruments, Music Cognition, Machine Listening, Music Informatics, Music Performance and Expression, Interactional Sound & Music.
Do you hear what I hear? The science of everyday sounds
Inaugural Lecture: Professor Josh Reiss
Analysing probabilty to predict football results
Professor Norman Fenton uses techniques developed in the 18th Century by Thomas Bayes but too complicated to use back then to understand risk and probability in a surprising range of areas.
War on cybercrime: protecting our online security
Professor Dino Distefano and Pasquale Malacaria are looking to find ways to protect our online security.
The Great Green Wired Gambit - decreasing the internet's impact on the environment
Dr Chris Phillips and his team are looking at ways of decreasing the internet's impact on the environment by switching off bits of the network that aren't actively being used.
Tile Attack
TileAttack is a two player game whose aim is to identify the parts of a text that refer to objects - e.g., people, places, locations. Find out more.
Traffic Surveillance
27 traffic scenes collected from urban environment. Multi-scene analysis is conducted on this dataset to facilitate cross-scene query, classification and multi-scene behaviour summarization. Find out more.
Climate change by numbers
In trying to determine what factors might influence a football team's performance over the course of a season, Professor Norman Fenton turns to Maths formulas often applied to predicting Climate Change.
