Development of accelerometry to assist in vestibular dysfunction examinations and to reduce falls
This study aims to develop accelerometry techniques in order to accurately measure the body's posture and movements and use signal processing and artificial intelligence methods to analyse and interpret the information.
Long-term collaboration with an industrial partner
This case study looks at how an Innovation Voucher from Innovate UK led to a long-term collaboration with an industrial partner
Plasma Investigations of the HIPIMS Discharge Industrial funding
High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS) has been developed on rotating PVD magnetron sources for uniform deposition on 200mm single wafer tools for barrier and seed layer deposition in through silicon vias (TSV)
Product development
The Centre for Infrastructure Management provides research and development (R&D) expertise to industry (especially SMEs) to develop innovative and novel products which enable the companies to maintain a lead market position.
Dementia and Robots
Researchers at Sheffield Hallam University have been looking into a robotic solution to help people with advancing dementia to maintain safe exercise regimes
Fire retardant unsaturated polyester nanocomposites
The ability of well-dispersed organomodified clays to enhance the fire retardency of thermoplastic polymers is well established, but thermoset polyester has received relatively little attention
Simulation of Supramolecular Structures
Using the same types of simulation on other choices of simple particle systems, we have developed a specific expertise in observing the development of soft triply-periodic structures such as the Gyroid
Computer Simulation of Liquid Crystals
We have extensive experience of simulating liquid crystalline behaviour at a range of length-scales. At a molecular scale, we have developed a particular expertise in mixture systems and in anchoring at patterned substrates
Thermal Management
Hallam Energy has expertise in heat transfer and thermal design, and has successfully applied their knowledge to help companies improve their products and processes and achieve a competitive advantage
