All research groups and centres listed by theme

The research in the Department is organised into nine themes, each reflecting common research interests. Each theme has a number of research groups that provide the infrastructure for targeted research and support for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. Academics are not limited to just one theme and many work collaboratively across a number of themes. Find out more about each of our themes below.

Our themes

Analysis and Verification

Verification is the act of proving or disproving the correctness of intended algorithms and there underlying systems.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence research encompasses foundational studies in Logic and a variety of Artificial Intelligence disciplines.

Data Science

Data Science enables us to develop novel insights into human, physical, and societal phenomena through the analysis of massive and complex data sets.

Research Themes

Programming Languages

Programming Languages spans foundational issues in language semantics right through to the design and implementation of new languages.

Cyber Security

Cyber Security is a fundamental concern in computing systems, ranging from low-level hardware, to operating systems, to high-level cloud computing.

Software Engineering

Software Engineering research addresses the challenges of building dependable, adaptive and secure distributed systems.

Research Themes

Systems
