Underpinning Multi-User Equipment At UCL

这是伦敦大学学院范围内的一项投资，旨在投资最先进的基础多用户设备，这将帮助我们在国际领先的研究中保持前沿。该提案中包含的每件设备都有助于一个或多个战略主题，伦敦大学学院以及国内和国际资助者近年来在这些主题上投入了大量资金：材料制造和表征；医疗技术;以及成像，用于医学和遗产科学的应用。伦敦大学学院在这些领域具有相当大的优势，我们在员工和学生数量、研究活动的广度和影响方面都有了显著的增长。因此，这笔额外的投资将提供一个理想的平台，以确保最高质量研究的持续增长，以及支持和培训早期职业研究人员。每一件设备都支撑着一系列的研究活动，跨越部门和学科的界限，这对伦敦大学学院和EPSRC具有战略重要性。UCL的设备项目是通过竞争性的内部选择过程选择的，由主管研究的院长和副院长领导，评估基于科学卓越性、潜在影响以及与UCL和EPSRC战略的一致性。每台设备都有一名首席研究员，负责定期向副教务长报告研究进展情况。请求的伦敦大学学院设备项目是：(A)光电子谱仪；(B)模拟介入套件的外科x射线成像和机器人技术；(C) 3D纳米打印设施；(D)用于文物科学和工程的三维高光谱成像设施。

This is a UCL-wide bid for investment in state-of-the-art underpinning multi-user equipment which will help us to maintain a cutting-edge in internationally leading research. Each piece of equipment included in this proposal contributes to one or more strategic themes, in which UCL, as well as national and international funders, has invested significantly in recent years: materials fabrication and characterisation; healthcare technologies; and imaging, for both medical and heritage science applications. UCL has considerable strengths in these areas, and we have experienced significant growth in terms of staff and student numbers, and breadth and impact of research activity. This additional investment will therefore provide an ideal platform to ensure the sustained growth of the highest quality research, as well as supporting and training early career researchers.Each piece of equipment underpins a range of research activities, reaching across department and discipline boundaries, which are of strategic importance for UCL and EPSRC. The UCL equipment items were chosen via a competitive internal selection process, led by Deans and Vice-Deans for Research, with evaluation based on scientific excellence, potential for impact, and alignment to UCL and EPSRC strategies. Each piece of equipment has a Lead Investigator(s) who will be responsible for regular reporting to the Vice-Provost for Research on progress against objectives.The requested UCL equipment items are: (A) a photoelectron spectrometer; (B) surgical X-ray imaging and robotics for a mock interventional suite; (C) a 3D nanoprinting facility; and (D) a 3D hyperspectral imaging facility for science and engineering in heritage.
