Computational Biology
The Data Science and AI Research Group
Our research is organised into six virtual laboratories: Colour and Imaging, Computational Biology, Data Science and Statistics, Interactive Graphics and Audio, Cyber Security, Privacy and Trust, and Smart Emerging Technologies whose activities can be found here.
Our physical laboratories are equipped with excellent special facilities such as a motion-capture suite, a haptics (touch-sensitive) laboratory, a dark-room, and a sound-recording suite. There is considerable interaction between the six labs: for instance, researchers in Computational Biology collaborate with researchers in Computer Graphics in building haptic systems to visualise molecules: researchers in speech recognition and lip-reading use similar computational techniques and tools as researchers in Machine Learning and Statistics.
