University of Bristol Core Equipment Award 2020

布里斯托尔大学（UoB）选择支持对设备的投资，以支持EPSRC在工程和科学学院的研究。它将支持包括250名研究人员、5000万英镑的EPSRC投资和解决大学研究项目的关键战略重点的项目。投资如下：3D精密位移跟踪器和高频数据采集系统，实现高质量的流动和结构位移测量，从而显著提高大华银行Lowson风洞设施的研究能力。布里斯托机器人实验室（BRL）推出了一款最先进的3D打印机，将极大地扩展快速原型设计的提供，使一系列当前和未来的研究目标成为可能，包括智能人机交互研究、自适应蜂群、生物医学软机器人、变形无人机和灵巧的机器人手。数字化学的多用户平台集成到该大学尖端的Blue Pebble高性能计算设施中，将支持化学和数学科学领域的研究挑战，包括机器学习、数学工具、材料设计、生化模拟和数据科学。扫描气动气溶胶分类器（s-AAC），能够阐明气溶胶系统加速反应背后的机制，为绿色化学合成提供途径；转换室内和室外空气质量模式，用于气溶胶的输送和演变；并为气溶胶在包括Covid-19在内的疾病传播中的作用提供开创性的见解。所有这些设备都解决了本次呼吁的三个核心目标：支撑多用户设备，支持ecr和支持临界质量博士培训。

The University of Bristol (UoB) has chosen to support investments in equipment which supports research across EPSRC's remit in the Engineering and Science Faculties. It will underpin programs incorporating >250 researchers, >£50M of EPSRC investment and addressing key strategic priorities in University research programs. Investments are as follows:A 3D Precision Displacement Tracker and High-frequency data acquisition system enabling high-quality flow and structure displacement measurement and thus significantly enhancing the research capabilities of UoB's Lowson Wind Tunnel Facility.A state-of-the-art 3D printer that will vastly extend rapid prototyping provision at Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL) enabling a range of current and future research targets, including smart human-interactive research, adaptive swarms, biomedical soft robotics, morphing UAVs and dexterous robot hands.A Multi-user platform for Digital Chemistry integrated into the University's cutting-edge Blue Pebble high-performance computing Facilities that will support research challenges across the spectrum of chemical and mathematical science, including machine learning, mathematical tools, materials design, biochemical simulation, and data science.A scanning Aerodynamic Aerosol Classifier (s-AAC), enabling the elucidation of mechanisms behind accelerated reactions in aerosol systems to provide routes to green chemical synthesis; transforming indoor and outdoor air quality models for aerosol transport and evolution; and providing pioneering insights into the role of aerosols in disease transmission, including Covid-19.All of these equipment address three of the core objectives of this call: underpinning multi-user equipment, supporting ECRs and supporting critical mass doctoral training.
