Small items of research equipment at UCL

这是一个UCL范围内的投标，投资于一个小型（<1万英镑）设备项目的组合，这将提高我们在四个战略，跨学科主题的能力：健康技术，材料科学，新型信息技术和未来媒体。UCL在这些挑战领域具有相当大的实力，我们正在经历为他们做出贡献的早期职业研究人员数量的显着增长。因此，这一额外投资将提供一个理想的平台，以确保最高质量的研究增长，并支持工作人员的职业发展。在每一个主题领域，我们已经确定了一个子集的研究挑战，将受益于额外的投资形式的小型设备。这项工作是与在该领域工作的个人和团体密切合作进行的，以确保所要求的项目符合他们目前的需要，并具有对他们的研究活动产生最大影响的最大潜力。提案中确定的领域是：（诊断与治疗学、医学影像学、血管建模和医学物理学）-主题B：材料科学（材料特性、新能源材料、化学工程）-主题C：新信息技术（量子效应的研究和表征，新量子比特系统的开发，新无线网络）-主题D：未来媒体（远程呈现和遥感）

This is a UCL-wide bid to invest in a portfolio of small (<£10k) equipment items which will enhance our capability in four strategic, cross-disciplinary themes: Health technologies, Materials science, Novel Information Technologies and Future Media. UCL has considerable strength in these challenge areas, and we are experiencing a significant growth in the numbers of early career researchers contributing to them. This additional investment will would therefore provide an ideal platform to ensure the growth of the highest quality research as well as support the career development of staff. Within each thematic area we have identified a subset of research challenges that will benefit from additional investment in the form of small items of equipment. This has been done in close collaboration with individuals and groups working in the area, to ensure that the items requested are aligned with their current needs and have the greatest potential to have maximum impact on their research activities. The areas defined in the proposal are: - Theme A: Health Technologies (Diagnostics and therapeutics, Medical imaging, Vascular modelling, and Medical physics)- Theme B: Materials Science (Materials characterisation, New energy materials, Chemical engineering)- Theme C: Novel Information Technologies (Investigation and characterisation of quantum effects, Development of new qubit systems, New wireless networks)- Theme D: Future Media (Telepresence and remote sensing)
