EPSRC Capital Award for Core Equipment 2022/23 - UnMet Demand

我们设备齐全，支持良好的现有实验室设施是我们研究战略不可或缺的一部分，在我们的EPSRC投资组合中尤为突出。这是我们研究精神的一个基本方面，我们为我们的研究人员提供他们需要蓬勃发展的工具和环境。我们打算用这笔整笔拨款投资于五台核心设备，这些设备将增强这些设施，并使工程和物理科学（EPS）学科范围内的各个部门的学者受益，从而整体上满足该奖项的基础多用户设备目标。此外，其中一个项目是现有套件的替代品，满足投资节省的目标。本申请中包含的几个提交文件由早期职业研究人员领导，满足支持早期职业研究人员目标的核心设备，并且两件设备也支持核心设备，以支持临界质量博士培养目标。通过这笔拨款购买的四项基础多用户设备是：-差分电化学质谱（DEMS）系统- NVIDIA A100 3 GPU深度学习服务器- Waters Radian质谱仪-高有效载荷协作人机。

Our well-equipped and well-supported existing laboratory provision is integral to our research strategy, featuring particularly prominently across our EPSRC portfolio. It is a foundational aspect of our research ethos that we provide our researchers with the tools and environments they need to flourish. We intend to use this block grant to invest in five pieces of core equipment which will enhance these facilities and benefit academics across departments within a range of Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS) disciplines, thus meeting the underpinning multi-user equipment objective for the award as a whole. In addition, one of the items is a replacement for an existing piece of kit, meeting the invest to save objective. Several of the submissions included within this application are led by Early Career Researchers, meeting the Core Equipment in support of Early Career Researchers objective, and two pieces of equipment also support the Core Equipment in support of critical mass doctoral training objective.The four items of underpinning multi-user equipment to be purchased via this grant are:- Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (DEMS) System- NVIDIA A100 3 GPU Deep Learning Server- Waters Radian Mass Spectrometer- High payload collaborative human-robot.
