We are seeking to make our expertise benefit major stakeholders in the field of quantum technologies!
There are numerous ways we can collaborate, from short-term collaborative projects to long-term partnerships, and we are always looking forward to new industry partners, in a diversity of application sectors for quantum technologies including civil engineering, positioning and navigation systems, healthcare, energy and space technology.
We provide consultancy based on our expertise in quantum science and devices, modelling and digital simulation capabilities.
Quantum Sensing from Space (EPSRC-funded – Industry partner: Thales UK).
Role: Primary academic supervisor. This iCASE PhD studentship aims at exploring the feasibility of a range of maritime use cases for quantum sensing from space.
MOQUA: Modelling quantum sensors for PNT applications (ESA-funded – Industry partner: GMV).
We are developing an advanced quantum gyroscope model to enable integration of this technology with a classical inertial navigation system
DASA Open Call for Innovation: Quantum Enhanced Navigation (DSTL-funded – Industry partner: MBDA).
Role: project lead. I have developed a state-of-the-art high-fidelity model of a quantum gravity sensor and, together with MBDA, have demonstrated its successful integration into the first-ever end-to-end simulation of a quantum-enhanced gravity-map-matching aided navigation solution as a whole.
Q-ACE (UK Space Agency funded – Industry partners: Thales Alenia Space/Teledyne-e2v) aiming at developing a quantum accelerometer operating from space for climate and atmospheric research.
Role: Workpackage leader, University of Birmingham technical lead and contact point – In charge of the quantum sensor payload, informing design decisions through digital simulation and working closely with system engineers in Thales and Teledyne-e2v.
Gravity Delve (Innovate UK funded – Industry partner: Nemein Ltd.) aiming at quantum environmental sensing, geothermal energy harvesting and carbon capture and storage.
Role: In charge of modelling and understanding the influence of systematic effects associated with operating in the field.
Consultancy on "Alternative navigation for submarines via gravity gradient map matching with quantum technology" for BAE Systems (led by University of Birmingham)
Role: Workpackage leader for “Navigation approaches and roadmap”.
