The new Centre builds on the success of the EPSRC funded collaboration between these two universities who set up a joint CDT for Photonic Systems Development in 2009.
The new Centre aims to train researchers to lead a new generation of industries providing products and systems, based on the close and optimal integration of photonics with electronics. The Centre brings together multi-disciplinary, cutting edge research activities from groups in photonics, communications, electronic engineering, nanotechnology, physics, materials, computer science, manufacturing, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, civil engineering and chemical engineering with contributions from more than 35 collaborating companies to provide an outstanding training environment for its students. The funding announced today will enable 5 cohorts of PhD students to be trained in the Centre over the next 8 years.
UK Photonics and UK electronics are large industries with annual revenues of £10 billion and £29 billion respectively. The CDT in Integrated Photonic and Electronic Systems is one of 70 Centres for Doctorial Training which will share £350 million of EPSRC funding that will be used to train 3,500 post graduate students across 24 universities.
