Our MRes students presented their posters at the inaugural Sensor CDT Mini Conference.
For the last few weeks, our MRes students have been working on their first Mini-Research Project. This project aims to challenge students academically by introducing them to a new area of sensor research they have not studied before.
For the Mini Conference, the students created research posters, explaining what they had achieved. Sensor CDT students, academics and external advisory board members joined to discuss their research.
The project titles and the supervisors the MRes students worked with this year are as follows:
