Intelligent Sensing and Communications

Developing real world solutions for communications, sensing and signal processing.

Our research

The Intelligent Sensing and Communications (ISC) group was first established in 1989. Our research explores the whole spectrum of communications and digital signal processing, from underpinning theories to applications with industry leading partners. 

The group's research comprises 3 themes:

  1. Communications - including wireless, optical and underwater acoustic communications.
  2. Signal Processing - including machine learning and AI, for applications in security, healthcare, environment and finance.
  3. Sensor Systems - for non-destructive testing/evaluation, biomedical sensing/imaging and environment monitoring.

We deliver world leading, high impact research in these areas which supports world-class education through our BEng, MEng, MSc and PhD programmes.
