Computer Science research teams to capitalize on existing prowess
Durham University's Computer Science Department Expands with New Research Groups
Durham University's Department of Computer Science is growing, with the addition of several new research groups. These groups, including Network Engineering Science and Theory in Durham (NESTiD), Scientific Computing (SciComp), Vision, Imaging, and Visualisation in Durham (VIViD), and others, are contributing to the department's reputation as a UK Top 10 Department (Complete University Guide 2023).
NESTiD: Focusing on Network Engineering and Theory
NESTiD, one of the new research groups, focuses on network engineering, science, and theory. The group's research spans a wide range of topics, including network design and algorithms, distributed and parallel computing, networked systems and applications, security and resilience, network science, dynamism and processes on networks, mathematical theory underpinning networks and communication, social network design, and human interaction, cloud, edge, fog, and wireless networks.
SciComp: Addressing Computational Methods and Algorithms
Another new research group, SciComp, concentrates on computational methods and algorithmic approaches to solve complex scientific problems. The group's members work on writing robust and fast simulation codes, fusing data with first-principle models, designing mature, correct, and sustainable scientific codes, and distributing workload on massive computers. SciComp closely interacts with various computational and data-driven disciplines in Durham, contributes to large-scale, world-leading simulation software packages, actively engages with Durham's and the UK's supercomputing agenda, and leads the inter-departmental MSc in Scientific Computing and Data Analysis.
VIViD: Specializing in Computer Vision and Visualization Techniques
VIViD, the Vision, Imaging, and Visualisation in Durham research group, specializes in computer vision, image processing, and visualization techniques. The group's research likely involves 2D/3D imaging, visual analytics, and possibly related machine learning methods for interpreting visual information within computer science. VIViD aims to be a world-leading research group in visual computing.
Ambitious Plans for the Future
The Department of Computer Science at Durham University has ambitious plans for the future and an inclusive, vibrant, and international community. The students in the Computer Science department develop knowledge and gain essential and transferable skills through high-quality teaching, delivered by a passionate team of leading academics. The department's research groups, including NESTiD, SciComp, and VIViD, are helping to drive the department's success and contribute to its reputation as a top-ranked department in the UK.
