Computer Architecture & Digital Media Processing

The Computer Architecture & Digital Media Processing Group is a part of the Centre for Computer Science and Informatics Research (CCSIR) conducting its activities at the Science and Technology Research Institute (STRI) .
The Computer Architecture and Digital Media Processing Group consists of two Sub-Groups working jointly:
System-on-Chip (SoC)
Speech and Biometrics


The System-on-Chip and Speech & Biometrics Sub-Groups exercise their activities in two different laboratories. The two laboratories host research students, post doctoral fellows and house specialist equipment supporting the group activities. The SoC lab is the first Altium European sponsored System-on-Chip laboratory. The work of the group covers analysis of a variety of real time computing intensive activities, algorithmic specification and implementation using dedicated architectures
The Science & Technology Research Institute (STRI)
The STRI is committed to delivering excellence in scientific and technological research in support of international and national priorities, and to the high-level training of research personnel to help meet demand from industry, commerce, and the public sector.
The STRI is one of three major research Institutes at the University. It is based principally within 2500sq.m of dedicated research office and laboratory accommodation adjacent to the University’s new Innovation Centre on the Hatfield College Lane Campus. The STRI is the primary focus for the research activities of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences, and houses more than 150 research staff and research students from the four major academic Schools of that Faculty.
The STRI's activities are organised within three Research Centres, each hosting a number of Research Groups.
