Strathclyde University enters partnership with world-leading sensor company

摘要

A world-leading sensor design and manufacturing company has announced a major investment in a research partnership with the University of Strathclyde. Pressure Profile Systems, Inc (PPS), which develops tactile sensors to capture pressure distribution as research tools, will be making the investment, worth in the region of £300,000, over five years to support the partnership and to advance academic research at the University of Strathclyde. During the first 12-month phase of the partnership, three co-funded PhD/EngD students will be recruited to work on sensor-based projects, jointly with PPS and Strathclyde research. The second phase will expand the partnership into other research fields, including biomedical engineering, design manufacture & engineering management and materials research.
