Security
This area covers a range of issues relating to our Security. Staff within this group seek out new methods and technologies to confront criminality.
Our research is often in collaboration with industry e.g. the novel finger print technology “Recover” in collaboration with Foster+Freeman. In addition, significant EU funding has been secured to develop new approaches within rescue efforts for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) incidents.
