ECS research group - Electronic Systems and Devices

Head of Group: Professor Neil White
Website: www.esd.ecs.soton.ac.uk

We are one of the largest UK groups in our field, with interests in all aspects of system design and development. We are internationally recognised in the development of novel algorithms and methodologies to underpin EDA tool development for large system design and test of intelligent sensor microsystems.
