Investigation into the influence of high Reynolds numbers on flapping foils
Project funded by the Defence Science & Technology Laboratory (DSTL).
B Hayden - Lead Niobate-based Tunable Dielectrics
BaxSr1-xTiyMn1-yO3 BSTO thin films have been synthesized using a molecular beam epitaxy system. Novel coplanar waveguide tunable phase shifters have been developed using these Mn-doped perovskite films. The presented phase shifters operate with a pha...
E-Drone: Transforming the energy demand of supply chains through integrated UAV-to-land logistics for 2030
Given the ever-growing demand for products and services that in turn generate freight activity in our cities, there is a need to fundamentally investigate how mixed land-and-Un-crewed Air Vehicle (UAV) logistics fleets can be successfully integrated ...
Trustworthy human-swarm partnerships in extreme environments
The aim of this project was to understand the contextual factors and technical approaches underlying trustworthy human-swarm teams. The project drew on co-creation with partners and potential users to generate potential use cases and operator-centred...
Routable Active Travel Infrastructure Networks Phases 1 and 2
Active travel has received increased investment and interest in many countries both due to COVID-19 and to policies which promote a shift to active travel to support a wide range of public and individual goods. However, the majority of investment so ...
Semi-insulating Silicon substrates for high frequency integrated circuits
We demonstrate the ability of deep level doping to reduce the substrate losses in coplanar waveg-uides and spiral inductors. Room temperature resistivity of Au doped Czochralski-Si increases from 50 Ωcm for n-type Si to 100 kΩcm for Au doped Si and t...
H2 Sensor
The use of electrodeposited PdNi-Si Schottky barriers as low power Hydrogen sensors is investigated. The Palladium content of the film causes the Hydrogen molecules to dissociate and be absorbed by the film, changing the metal work function and Schottk...
Spintronic device in Si/Ge Heterostructures
Spin-dependent transport is investigated in a Ni/Ge/AlGaAs junction with an electrodeposited Ni contact. Spin-polarized electrons are excited by optical spin orientation and are subsequently used to measure the spin dependent conductance at the Ni/Ge...
Decision Support Systems for Resilient Strategic Transport Networks in Low Income Countries
This project forms part of the FCDO High Volume Transport applied research programme (https://transport-links.com/), and has involved developing and delivering what is (to the best of our knowledge) the first multi-state transport infrastructure deci...
