The international reputation and standing of the University of Brighton in computer science and mathematics have been evidenced through impact studies and outputs in each Research Excellence Framework (REF2014, REF2021). Our researchers take an applied and impact-orientated approach on research output, tackling societal, environmental, and economic concerns through the development of human-centred and intelligent systems for dynamic and complex environments.

This reputation is particularly notable in the computing domains of machine learning, visual computing, robotics AI, human-centred AI, user-experience design, natural language, and cybersecurity. The group also focuses on discrete mathematical techniques, specifically in the realms of computer science, applied computational methods, statistics, and numerical and computational techniques. Applications of these technologies address challenges in the areas such as software engineering, cultural heritage, healthcare, applied statistics, biomedical science, and industrial applications.

Researchers collaborate with local, national, and international communities and industries through research and knowledge exchange that influences societal sustainability and well-being, as well as industry competitiveness. Postgraduate research students are integral to the group and we welcome applications for supervision towards a PhD in mathematics or PhD in computer science.
