Centre for Electronic Systems Research (CESR)

CESR

The CSER is engaged in both fundamental and applied research to improve the control and operations of industrial processes and to enrich the quality of life and services for the 21st century needs. The technological emphasis is on establishing a sound theoretical and practical understanding of new and potentially significant advances. Research interests focus on the interface with the real world and involve areas such as bio-naotechnology (Lab-on-a-Chip for point-of-care-diagnostics), GNSS and wireless technologies based LBS systems for blind navigation, biometrics, use of ultrasonic and electromagnetic acoustic guided wave for NDT, fundamentals of charge particle dynamics, measurement systems for pharmaceutical drug aerosol characterisation, medical electronics, pattern recognition, image processing, theory and application of neural networks, evolutionary hardware, and human factors in product and system design . The Centre investigates processes and mechanisms found in nature to inspire alternative approaches to the design and implementation of intelligent electronic systems. The scientific objective of the Centre will be to investigate underpinning scientific fundamentals necessary to develop algorithms and measurement techniques to implement intelligent electronic systems capable of efficient control and operations of industrial processes and health care systems.

The Centre consists of six academics (Prof. Balachandran, Prof. Stonham, Dr. Boulgouris, Dr. Abbod, Dr. Kalganova and Dr. Garaj), 4 postdoctoral researchers, 32 research students and 2 Visiting Professors.
