Academics in the Department of Computing have a very broad range of research interests and expertise. Companies often call on this expertise for consultancy, which can take the form of advice on technology strategy, reviews of research and development plans, advance development or solutions to particular problems.
Contracts for consultancy can either be negotiated directly with individuals or through Imperial Consultants Ltd, who will provide advice and template contracts. Companies can also contact the department's Industrial Liaison Team, who will act as a broker to find the right expertise.
Research sections
The research in the Department is organised into nine sections, each reflecting common research interests. Over 30 research groups provide the infrastructure for targeted research and support for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.
