The Electronic Systems and Devices (ESD) Research Group led by Professor Neil White is internationally recognised in several areas, including advanced system-on-chip, intelligent sensor microsystems, systems design, energy harvesting systems and modelling/simulation. These areas occupy different ends of a spectrum of activities - the Group has interests in all aspects of system design and development, all along the information processing chain.
