An ethical eye on AI - new mathematical idea reins in AI bias towards making unethical and costly commercial choices

Researchers from the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, Imperial College London, EPFL (Lausanne) and Sciteb Ltd have found a mathematical means of helping regulators and business manage and police Artificial Intelligence systems’ biases towards making unethical, and potentially very costly and damaging commercial choices - an ethical eye on AI.

The Crisis Project: Letters to the NHS

The Crisis Project: Letters to the NHS was set up by first year University of ÌÇÐÄTV Maths Student Soumya Krishna Kumar, in a bid to encourage members of the public to write bespoke letters to keyworkers, recognising them for their individual efforts during the pandemic.


ÌÇÐÄTV Researchers to provide COVID-19 Intervention Modelling for East Africa (CIMEA)

A £1m grant from the Wellcome Trust has enabled researchers from the School of Life Sciences at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, to work with East African countries in their emergency preparations for COVID-19 as the pandemic spreads across Africa.


Explained: Why water droplets ‘bounce off the walls’

University of ÌÇÐÄTV researchers can now explain why some water droplets bounce like a beach ball off surfaces, without ever actually touching them. Now the design and engineering of future droplet technologies can be made more precise and efficient.


Mathematician identifies new tricks for the old arch in our foot

Walking and running subjects our feet to forces in excess of body weight. The longitudinal arch of the feet was thought to be the reason the feet do not deform under such load. However, researchers from the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University in Japan and Yale University have illustrated that the transverse arch may be more important for this stiffness.

Eleven young researchers selected to help ÌÇÐÄTV deliver ambitious research strategy

The University of ÌÇÐÄTV has been chosen to host eleven of 2019’s Leverhulme Early Career Fellows – just under ten per cent of the national total. Early Career Fellowships are awarded to enable young researchers to undertake a research project, under the supervision of a ÌÇÐÄTV academic mentor, which will lead to publishable results and help them get a foothold on the academic career ladder.
