EPSRC Core Capital Award

我们的提案要求两项设备，以使科学与工程学院的用户受益- i)位于化学学院的台式高清质谱仪（MS）， ii)位于詹姆斯瓦特纳米制造中心（JWNC）的多目标溅射工具。这两个项目都将扩大该大学在纳米制造和化学分析领域的现有能力，这些领域支撑着复杂化学、电子学、量子激光和传感等领域的大量研究。该大学已经在这些领域进行了出色的研究，并继续吸引内部和外部投资。加强我们的能力和能力将使我们能够继续提供世界级的研究，发展我们未来的合作，并建立新的工业伙伴关系。这些新设施将被许多学院的研究人员使用，包括化学、工程、物理、天文学和医学。他们将支持几个EPSRC项目和标准研究补助金以及四个英国量子中心，使研究成为可能，例如激光制造的新工艺，新功能材料和独特的传感设备。我们有一个现有的行业合作伙伴网络，他们可以在联合研究活动中使用新的设施，并计划吸引更多的合作项目，以推动新的经济、社会和环境影响。

Our proposal requests two items of equipment to benefit users across the College of Science and Engineering - i) a bench-top, high-definition mass spectrometer (MS) to be located within the School of Chemistry, and ii) a multi-target sputter tool to be located within the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre (JWNC).Both items will expand the current capabilities of the University in the areas of nanofabrication and chemical analysis, which underpin a large portfolio of research in fields including complex chemistry, electronics, quantum lasers, and sensing. The University already delivers excellent research in these areas, and they continue to attract internal and external investment. Strengthening our capacity and capability will allow us to continue to deliver world-class research, grow our future collaborations, and establish new industrial partnerships.These new facilities will be utilised by researchers across many Schools, including Chemistry, Engineering, Physics & Astronomy and Medicine. They will support several EPSRC Programme and Standard research grants and the four UK Quantum hubs, enabling research such as novel processes for the manufacture of lasers, new functional materials, and unique sensing devices.We have a network of existing industry partners who can access the new facilities in joint research activities, and plan to attract more collaborative projects that can drive new economic, societal and environmental impacts.
