RF & Microwave Research Group (RFM)
Welcome
The RFM group focuses on multidisciplinary activities related to environmental, sustainability and renewable energies using advanced microwave technologies.
The group has a very successful history, and has obtained funds of £5M over the last 5 years from the EU, TSB, UK/US MoD, Carbon Trust and direct funding from industry for projects related to recycling, production of biofuel from waste oil and grass, non-invasive sensing for built environment and healthcare industries. The group has pioneered the production of green solvent for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
This diverse range of activities means that the group has members from a wide range of science disciplines, including electronics, communications, computing, biology and chemistry. Members include academic and research staff, in addition to a number of PhD students at varying stages of their study.
Both RFM and LCET groups have created, with the support from Venture Capitalist funding, three spin out companies:
- Microwaste Ltd
- Microsense Ltd
- Hotwaves Ltd
Based on this and the unique research and enterprise activities the group has established a solid foundation and a strong link with over 50 industries, both nationally and internationally.
