Interdisciplinary research cross Imperial's faculties

Our sensor research themes cover a wide spectrum from exploration of new physical sensing principles towards practical solutions for sensor applications and sensor integration.

We generate innovative ideas and promote strategic partnerships with stakeholders from industry.

Sensor research at Imperial is distributed over several departments and reflects our multidisciplinary approach for research, education and training.
