Human Machine Intelligence Research Group

​

Welcome to our research group page. We are supported by a variety of UKRI, EU, and Defence & Securities funding. Full list of grants is here. Access to our and wider university labs relevant to our group is here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​The centre I lead has 10 academic staff and 16 research fellows. It broadly has 3 areas: Data-driven Human-Machine Intelligence, Model-driven Assurance, and Integration-driven Advanced Air Mobility. It hosts several national and sector critical labs (1 of UK's 6G nodes, 1 of the largest drone arenas, human factors based cockpit & C2, fully integrated UTM/ATM with air traffic control, delivering research capability to UK and UK Plc.
