How artificial intelligence slots into research
It was coding a Tetris-winning AI agent that flipped Dr Donghwan Shin’s focus from software engineering to AI.
Now he’s investigating how AI can transform the research environment, and beyond.
Hospital admissions from care homes reduced by a quarter thanks to data-driven app
A smartphone app that allows care home staff to monitor the health of residents has been found to reduce hospital A&E attendances by 11 per cent and emergency admissions by 25 per cent.
The programme, led by the University of ºù«Ӱҵ, in collaboration with the universities of Durham, Lancaster and Newcastle, set out to investigate the benefits of using digital technology for remote health monitoring within care homes.

World leading expert on bio-inspired AI to direct University of ºù«Ӱҵ’s Centre for Machine Intelligence
One of the world’s leading innovators in bio-inspired AI has joined the University of ºù«Ӱҵ, as part of a new multi-million pound centre that is set to transform the institution’s research, innovation and teaching around artificial intelligence.
Professor James Marshall, Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Opteran Technologies Limited, has been appointed Director of the University’s Centre for Machine Intelligence (CMI).
ºù«Ӱҵ welcomes leading expert
University of ºù«Ӱҵ test fire world-first ‘AI designed’ rocket engine
A team from the University of ºù«Ӱҵ collaborated with software start-up AI engineering company, LEAP71, and inventor Sam Rogers, to test fire the world's-first ‘AI designed’ 3D-printed rocket engine.
Making use of ºù«Ӱҵ's expertise in advanced manufacturing, metal 3D printing and rocket propulsion, the team provided practical feedback to LEAP71’s Managing Director and Co-Founder Josefine Lissner, while developing their Noyron code, which was used to design the engine.
ºù«Ӱҵ at the forefront of space innovation
The Centre for Machine Intelligence discusses prospects for future collaboration with ºù«Ӱҵ City Council
The Centre for Machine Intelligence (CMI) is a strategic initiative dedicated to the transformation and acceleration of research, innovation and teaching in and around Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Following £3.6m of investment from the University of ºù«Ӱҵ the centre is building an environment that supports world-leading and responsible research into AI and one that is equipped to train the next generation of researchers.
