Computer Science Research

experimentThe School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences is internationally renowned for its research in the computational and mathematical sciences and is committed to enhancing yet further its research ratings in these fields.

expressionsIn Computer Science, strong groups with excellent international profiles pursue foundational and strategic research in Intelligent Systems, Dependable Systems, Logics, Types and Rewriting, Data and Knowledge Base Systems and Image and Texture analysis. These groups enjoy substantial and sustained research funding from EPSRC and EU Framework programmes, and burgeoning industrial partnerships that include BAe, Motorola, Qinetiq and Praxis.

Some of our current research projects are exploring:

  • animationthe synchronisation of voices and faces in cartoon animations 
  • the effect of lighting variations on image texture and texture features
  • the role of emotion and affective behaviour in computer systems 
  • fingerprint detection using photometric stereo computer techniques
  • the design of robust programming languages with provably correct properties
