Our research pillars
At CHEDDAR Hub, our research is guided by three core pillars that drive advancements in next generation telecoms. Through collaborative projects, we explore and develop solutions that meet societal needs, promote sustainability, and uphold technological integrity, partnering across sectors.
Emergent Systems
Sustainable Systems
Human-centric Systems
Our emergent systems research is centred on the integration of network-embedded sensing and intelligence, driving innovation in adaptive and autonomous technologies. By exploring advanced computational methods like quantum computing and machine autonomy, we aim to build systems that dynamically evolve in response to societal shifts and demands.
Sustainability is essential for the future of technology, and our approach to next generation telecoms is no exception. We focus on developing green-by-design systems, optimising devices, algorithms, and data flows to minimize environmental impact. Our goal is to create next generation telecoms technologies that deliver energy-efficient solutions, fostering a responsible approach to future connectivity.
As network complexity grows, so does the need to prioritize human values in design. Our human-centric research ensures that 6G technologies meet high standards for trust, security, privacy, resilience, and equity. We emphasise the importance of transparency and interpretability, ensuring that our innovations serve the diverse needs of society.
Emergent Systems Pillar is geared towards developing new technologies which support autonomous operation of networks as well as expose autonomy as-a-service across the edge-cloud-fog-continuum.
This project explores sustainable solutions in next generation telecoms technology, focusing not only on energy consumption but also on optimising the use of materials and resources to advance the development of a sustainable next generation telecoms ecosystem.
The human-centric systems pillar of future communication emphasises four critical themes—trustworthiness, verifiability, privacy, and security—to ensure that next- generation communication systems are safe, reliable, and user-focused.
