Communication, Sensing & Imaging
Exploring cutting-edge technologies for wireless communication, intelligent sensing, and future-ready healthcare.
The Communication, Sensing and Imaging research cluster is at the forefront of research in next-generation wireless communication, sensing, and imaging technologies. Based at the University of Glasgow, our interdisciplinary work bridges core engineering science with cutting-edge applications, from telecommunications to healthcare.
Our mission is to shape future wireless systems that are intelligent, secure, and scalable — meeting real-world demands through innovation in signal processing, AI integration, and hardware design.
We work across fundamental and applied research, specialising in:
- Beyond-5G (B5G) Communication Systems
- Signal Processing and Intelligent Networking
- AI for Health Monitoring and Wireless Infrastructure
- Advanced Sensing and Imaging Technologies
From theory to application
By combining deep theoretical expertise with applied engineering, our team develops real-world solutions — from novel waveforms and MAC protocols to AI-driven sensing systems. Whether connecting billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices or enabling intelligent healthcare monitoring, we are engineering the networks and technologies of tomorrow.
