Overview

Research

Our core Computer Science research at The University of Manchester is augmented by interdisciplinary research taking place at the interface with discipline areas including mathematics, physics, medicine and biology.

Our research tackles some of society's greatest challenges; from making sense of the data deluge to the security of communications and figuring out how to live alongside intelligent robotic systems.

We see research in computer science as a virtuous circle, where we investigate the fundamental nature of new computing paradigms and feed it back into our work to create real-world impact.

Programme Structure

Our research is structured to contribute meaningfully across several broad themes:

Artificial intelligence
Data science
Future computing systems
Human-centred computing
Software and e-infrastructure
