Underpinning Multi-User Equipment At UCL

这是伦敦大学学院对最先进的支持多用户设备的投资的竞标，这将有助于我们在国际领先研究中保持领先地位。这项提案中包含的每一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进行了大量投资：材料制造和表征；医疗保健技术；以及用于医学和遗产科学应用的成像。伦敦大学学院在这些领域拥有相当大的优势，我们在教职员工和学生数量以及研究活动的广度和影响方面都有了显著的增长。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持续增长，并支持和培训早期职业研究人员。每一台设备都支持一系列研究活动，跨越部门和学科边界，这对伦敦大学学院和EPSRC具有战略重要性。UCL设备项目是通过竞争性的内部遴选过程选出的，由研究主任和副院长领导，评估基于科学卓越、潜在影响以及与UCL和EPSRC战略的一致性。每件设备都有一名首席调查员(S)，负责定期向主管针对目标的研究进展向副教务长报告。所需的UCL设备包括：(A)光电子光谱仪；(B)模拟介入套件的外科X射线成像和机器人；(C)3D纳米打印设备；以及(D)用于文物科学和工程的3D高光谱成像设备。

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.
