Academic Teams
Biosciences
NTU's world-leading and internationally-excellent biosciences research, as recognised by RAE 2008, is housed in well established laboratories. This includes the purpose-built Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Facility and the Natural Sciences Research Facility.
- Bioinformatics and Biomathematics
- Biomolecular and Microbial Analysis
- Environmental Quality and Management Research
- Cell Biology, Pathology and Ageing
- Neurobiology, Pharmacology and Toxicology
- Pathogen Research
- Personalised Medicine
- Proteomics and Genomics
Chemistry and Forensics
Research in chemistry and forensic science encompasses synthetic organic and inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry (including catalysis) and analytical science. Much of our research lies at the interface with the life sciences or materials science, and has been recognised as world-leading and internationally-excellent.
Computing and Technology
Research in computing and technology is carried out in collaboration with colleagues within the University and with groups at other UK and international institutions and includes world-leading and internationally-excellent research as recognised by the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.
- Applied Imaging and Displays
- Communication Systems
- Computational Optimisation and Applications
- Intelligent Recognition
- Intelligent Simulation and Modelling
- Interactive Systems
Physics and Mathematics
Research in physics and mathematics is interdisciplinary in nature and is carried out in collaboration with NTU colleagues in art, archaeology, chemistry and biomedical sciences and with groups at other UK and international institutions. Our work is recognised by RAE 2008 as world-leading and internationally-excellent, and often interfaces with materials and devices and involves the development of new techniques:
- Archeometry and Imaging for Art Conservation
- Bioinformatics and Biomathematics
- Graph Theory and Applied Mathematics
- Medical and Materials Imaging
- Observational Astronomy and Cosmology
- Optics and Displays
- Sensors and Acoustics
- Soft Matter Physics
Sports Science
Our internationally-recognised sports research encompasses themes that reflect the expertise within the academic team but which often involves interdisciplinary collaboration. Research themes include:
