Research Activities

@The efficient transfer of information is the key to successful operation of the complex systems which are increasingly found in modern society. Information Technology is therefore of great importance for the future of mechanical engineering. Some examples of MEL's research in this area are: Development of optical information processing techniques to improve on the performance of conventional electronic methods, development of instrumentation and control systems for use in extreme environments (e.g. space), and investigations into distributed control theory for complex systems.
