Case studies showing the breadth and impact of our work:We are engaged in internationally leading research across a range of areas in computer science, artificial intelligence and cognitive science. Our research spans the theoretical and applied, often crossing traditional discipline boundaries.
Our research is organised around the following four research groups:
Cognitive and Language Processing Systems
Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems
Foundations of Software Systems
Interactive Systems
Our research often entails collaborations between the groups, as well as with other departments at Sussex and external academic, institutional and commercial partners. Funding for research projects comes from UK research councils (EPSRC, BBSRC, ESRC, AHRC, MRC), the Technology Strategy Board, the European Union, charities, industrial contracts, and philanthropic donations.
Members of Informatics play leading roles in the following interdisciplinary research centres at Sussex:
Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics (CCNR)
Centre for Research in Cognitive Science (COGS)
Sackler Centre for Consciousness Science (SCCS)
In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, 75% of our research outputs (papers, articles, patents, publicly available software, etc.) were classified as either 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent', attesting to the high quality of our research.
