The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) today announced the award of £18million to three projects led by University College London (UCL) Engineering. Each of the projects will have a major impact in the fields of information and technology to meet increasing demand for more automation and more data. Professor Dave Delpy, Chief Executive of the EPSRC said: "The funded projects were all extremely strong bids for transformative and world-leading research programmes and supporting this level of quality and ambition is the core purpose of the EPSRC programme grant scheme. "These projects range from optical and wireless communication technologies through to software engineering and computer science and exemplify the breadth and diversity of the ICT research we support." The Dean of UCL Engineering, Professor Anthony Finkelstein, said: "UCL Engineering is excited by the scientific challenges inherent in these important programmes, and obviously pleased that the EPSRC recognises us as a key player delivering innovation to the UK and the global economy. Our unique capabilities spanning research and knowledge transfer, from optics through networks to software services, allow us to tackle some of the large scale technology challenges that face the digital economy, and meet our mission to 'Change the World.'" Within the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, the Optical Networks Group will receive a £4.75 million EPSRC programme grant to develop a new generation of optical fibres, breaking previously imposed data transmissions limits.
