Research in the School of Computer Science

Our computer science research was independently assessed to be in the top 30 for research impact*.

Specialist areas include computational science; computer gamification; dependable intelligent systems; robotics and artificial intelligence; and simulation and visualization.

Research strengths

Virtual Augmented Reality and Simulation

We focus on the application of augmented, virtual and mixed reality, simulation and visualization environments to solve end-user problems. We also develop the new tools, techniques and theories needed for their construction.

Our particular strengths in underpinning technologies stem from work on novel systems and algorithms for modelling, simulation and rendering – and expertise in building, validating and integrating innovative display modalities.
