Project ADA

Research strengths

In its first year ADA recruited over 25 staff across Computer Science, Maths & Engineering. You can see the research themes and learn about their skillsets further down this page. 

If you have a research proposal or idea you’d like some support in bringing to the team you can complete an Expression of Interest form here. These are reviewed every 3 months by the DORI.  

If what you’re looking for is more about an interface with AI capability, or an app to make your work accessible, you might be more interested in working with our Research Software Engineering team- you can learn more about this here (insert link to Technical Capabilities page) 

If you’d like to understand more about how you could integrate these capabilities into your work, you might find these pages interesting.
