ICaPNet facilities include a multi-million pound investment in test-beds for energy-efficient communication networks and internet-of-things networks, and a new smart grid prototype laboratory. Cross-faculty collaboration and industrial collaboration opportunities in energy research are facilitated by Energy Leeds, an interdisciplinary centre with strong industry connections.In addition to developing an active research portfolio you will make a significant contribution to teaching in the School on our undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The University has an ethos of research-led teaching, and you will use your cutting-edge research to inform an innovative, creative approach to teaching and inspiring students at all levels.
