About

The Physical Computation Laboratory research group is based in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. All of our research activities build on a simple unifying idea: exploit information about the physical world to make more efficient computing systems that interact with nature.

We apply this single idea to investigate new approaches to sensors, sensor I/O, new processor architectures for sensor systems, machine learning from sensor data, and actuators/displays that exploit properties of human perception. We conduct fundamental research augmented with hardware prototypes to get the results of our research out into the world.

We're hiring! We are growing and have several open positions. Check out the jobs page for a sampling of open positions.
