Digital transformation through artificial intelligence (AI) and applied technologies includes work in innovative applied research in health and wellbeing and cyber security including digital forensics, blockchain technology, optimised solutions, big data and robotics.
This interdisciplinary theme brings together Edinburgh Napier's cutting-edge research into big data; analytics; visualisation; and cyber-crime, to shape the digital future, connecting our expertise in the arts, creative industries, technology, life science and engineering.
Our research in this area is inspired by both emerging digital opportunities and by a desire to promote and understand our existing information heritage.
The evolving threat of cybercrime has inspired research by our internationally recognised cyber-security lab to develop new training techniques. Meanwhile, the rise of social media has us asking questions about the way we create and consume information now and in the future.
