Our mission

Gradual, crafted and deliberate generation of globally recognized scientific contribution in artificial intelligence — by Faculty of Engineering staff and students, who will become leading experts of AI methods, tools and computing.

Research

Four frontiers we work across

Our research connects fundamental AI methods to real engineering design and decision-making.

FRONTIER 01

Learning for Dynamical Systems

Data-driven models that learn, predict and control systems that evolve over time.

FRONTIER 02

Multimodal Sensing, Perception & Representation Learning

Fusing vision, signals and language into rich representations machines can reason over.

FRONTIER 03

Optimization & Decision-Making Under Uncertainty

Principled methods for choosing well when data is noisy, partial or incomplete.

FRONTIER 04

Generative Models for Simulation & Design

Generative AI that simulates, explores and proposes new engineering designs.

⚡ SPARK-101

A fast-track introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Free and open to all enrolled students and MSc/PhD researchers — a fast-paced, fun and relevant course to accelerate your learning.

The Finale

⚡ SPARK-101 Hackathon

The course ends with a hackathon-style event. Participants must take part successfully in the hackathon to receive their certificate of participation. Watch this page for more details on the hackathon.

  • Bridge the essential maths. Linear algebra, optimization, calculus and probability theory for ML & AI — so you can identify what to learn next.
  • Engaging, practical lectures. Every concept is tied to real engineering design and problem-solving using Python, real datasets and simple models.
  • Spark enthusiasm. Discover the potential of ML and AI in engineering design and problem-solving.
  • Deploy in your coursework. Practical skills you can apply directly in years 3 & 4 coursework and graduation projects.
