Our research and projects

Research themes

Using rigorous modelling and manufacturing information, we work across all Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) to deliver bespoke optical measurement solutions for manufacturing tasks. Our research covers:

exploiting the concept of “information-rich” metrology
dimensional metrology
internal geometry measurement and characterisation

mathematical techniques for characterisation of advanced surfaces
calibration and verification of instruments in industry
precision instrument design

Projects

We have a substantial number of projects underway. Ranging from EPSRC funded projects, European funded projects, UoN funded projects, many designed and supported by our own PhDs and EngD students, and many past projects all cited below for you to read.
