Expertise
Our digital world relies on transmitters to send signals
and receivers to pick them up. Signal processing is what
goes on in the background to convert the packets of
information into useable data formats for computers and
gadgets to use.
Our excellence in signal processing and
communications research is based on fundamental
theoretical developments, novel algorithms, sound radio
frequency measurements, and experience of innovative
and diverse applications. We have particular experience
in biomedical applications: computer-aided breast
cancer detection; retinal image processing for diabetic
retinopathy; genomic signal processing for gene
discovery; and brain signal processing including
natural music elicited EEG and fMRI data processing.
We have a solid foundation in theoretical developments
in the fields of signal processing (including image
processing), machine learning, and modelling. The
University’s strength in these fundamentals is regularly
demonstrated by its strong international publication
record and its well-known work on automated modulation
recognition, blind signal separation and machine learning
for classification and clustering. The main thrust of our
research is to extract information from data, develop
understanding, and generate meaning.
