Research areas

This research group is concerned with the development and application of state-of-the-art techniques and algorithms for linear and nonlinear systems analysis and control, information processing and signal analysis. Projects include:

• Nonlinear systems, modelling, identification, analysis and design
• Signal processing and complex systems
• Space systems data modelling and instrumentation
• Adaptive signal processing
• Nonlinear systems control
• Control systems, analysis and design

Research Income

Complex Systems, Signal Processing and Control draws all its funding from OST/OSI Research Councils and, excluding OST/OSI Central Facilities, has seen its annual income income more than double to ~950k p.a.

Consistent EPSRC awards for complex systems modelling (~£1M including a Platform Grant) was recognised in the establishment of the Centre for Complex Systems, Signal Processing and Control with income in excess of £25M in the past three years.

SPiNSN neuroimaging research received ~£0.5M (EPSRC), £1.08M from SRIF and extensive NIH funding.

The Space Systems Team (SST) has continued to enjoy its un-rivalled position in instrumentation and analysis for inter-planetary space missions, and has received over £2.5M plus ~£4.8M Central Facilities funding for operational infrastructure (PPARC).
