Queen's University Belfast Core Equipment Call 2019

女王大学贝尔法斯特EPSRC核心设备奖2020将用于提高我们的研究能力，通过推进我们的设备，明确的目标是为我们的EPSRC研究人员和潜在的EPSRC研究人员，特别是我们的早期职业（EC）员工提供支持。每个项目的主要研究人员都在进行前沿研究，这些设备将巩固我们的卓越研究，如支持案例中的更多内容所述。贝尔法斯特女王大学拥有强大而完善的合作文化，设备共享和最大限度地利用设备来支持我们的研究人员和跨学科研究，例如我们的MATCH PRP正在进行的研究。这个核心奖项将为我们的研究人员提供明显的好处，通过增加合作，提高生产力和实现我们研究环境的阶段性变化。本次招标的资金专门用于采购与我们的优先研究领域一致的战略设备，并在我们的EPS战略设备清单中确定。具体来说，核心基金和额外的匹配资金（详见资源说明）将用于支持石英晶体微天平、荧光光谱仪、红外热像仪和镜头，这些镜头具有更高的捕获速度，用于智能SHM，以及最先进的表面视觉捕获系统和无人机监控技术。ECIT Tx/Rx毫米波v波段VNA毫米波实验室位于ECIT，用于无线通信系统天线和组件的表征，微型CT扫描仪升级和x射线源更新，以及先进材料气相沉积簇工具模块

Queen's University Belfast EPSRC Core Equipment Award 2020 is to be used to enhance our research capability through advancing our equipment with the explicit aim of providing support to our EPSRC researchers and potential EPSRC researchers particularly our Early Career (EC) staff. The lead researchers for each item are undertaking cutting-edge research, and this equipment will underpin our research excellence as outlined in more in the Case for Support. Queen's University Belfast has a strong and well-established culture of collaboration, equipment sharing and maximising the use of equipment to support our Researchers and cross-disciplinary research such as that being undertaken by our MATCH PRP. This core award will provide a clear benefit to our Researchers through enabling increased collaboration, greater productivity and the realisation of step changes in our research environment. The funding from this call is exclusively for the procurement of strategic equipment aligned to our priority research areas and as identified in our EPS Strategic Equipment list. Specifically the core fund and additional match funding ( as detailed in the Justification of Resources ) will be used to support a Quartz crystal microbalance, Spectrofluorometer, IR thermal camera and lens with higher speed capture for intelligent SHM that is coupled with a state-of-the-art surface vision capture systems and UAV monitoring technology, ECIT Tx/Rx mm-wave V-band VNA mm-wave lab housed at ECIT is used for characterisation of antennas and components for wireless communications systems, Micro CT Scanner Upgrade and X-Ray source renewal, and an Advanced Materials Vapour Deposition Cluster Tool Module
