PhD/MPhil Computer Systems Engineering

Research profile

PhD in Computer Systems Engineering expands to different research areas such as audio and video networking, multimedia architectures and applications, data communications and networking, computer engineering, video, image processing and computer vision. Our cross-disciplinary research projects draw on the expertise of our electronic engineers, computer engineers, mathematicians, and physicists.

The department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering supports extensive networked computer facilities and software, as well as a wide range of computational platforms. Our research covers a range of topics, such as the theory of computation, computational intelligence and computer games, to artificial intelligence and robotics, with most of our research groups based around laboratories offering world-class facilities. Our research groups, namely Electronics Systems Research, Sensors and Measurement, Power Systems, Wireless and Computer Communication, supports different research topics and projects. The Department enjoys an international reputation for its work and prides itself in allowing students the freedom to realise their maximum potential.
