The Department has active research programs in a number of areas, and many staff are members of research groups that go beyond the Department, particularly:
A number of staff are also involved in collaborative research with the University's Centre for Health Technologies within the Faculty of Engineering, focussing on medical image technology with the objective of improving the detection and anaylsis of detail in medical images, especially breast mammograms.
Staff are often involved in a number of research areas. For convenience, staff are listed below under their primary area of interest:
