The Global Smart Lab brings together a team with a wide range of skills, experiences and backgrounds in art, design, technology and research. We work closely with engineers, technical specialists, academic staff and PhD researchers, and collaborate with students at all levels. Our network extends beyond the University, partnering with colleagues from other universities and industry to share knowledge and expertise. This mix of perspectives and professional journeys reflects the Lab’s collaborative ethos, where diverse approaches are combined to develop inclusive, design‑led solutions to real‑world challenges in health, ageing, education, learning and sustainability. Below are some of our key members and leaders of the research we undertake.
