ROSTER · ACTIVE RESEARCH PROGRAMS SPH-PROG · VOL.01

Research programs in motion.

Each program is a standing commitment — a research line the institution has chosen to maintain. Research programs do not chase milestones. They are evaluated on the knowledge they produce and the publications they render to file.

R1

Manufacturing Systems

3 active

Modular production cell v1

A containerised manufacturing cell with standardised power, data, and material interfaces. Target — re-deployable between geographies in under 72 hours.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

Generative process design

A framework for computational exploration of manufacturing process parameters — optimising for yield, energy, and cycle time simultaneously.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

Twin-synchronous maintenance

Digital twin maintained in lock-step with deployed cells; predictive maintenance informed by process-level simulation rather than sensor heuristics alone.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

R2

Systems Integration

3 active

Platform reference architecture

A first-class reference for building multi-division platforms with explicit interface contracts.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

Integration testbed

A physical testbed where divisional outputs integrate under representative deployment conditions.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

Spinout hardening toolkit

Engineering toolkit and review process for hardening research prototypes to TRL 5+.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

R3

Energy & Transport

3 active

Long-duration storage platform

A modular stationary storage platform targeting 8–12 hour discharge economics in grid-critical applications.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

Grid-forming microgrid reference

An open reference architecture for self-forming microgrids under high renewable penetration.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

Infrastructural mobility pilot

A pilot study for mobility systems designed around infrastructure, not vehicle ownership.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

R4

Computation & Electronics

3 active

Field-hardened compute stack

A reference stack from silicon to application layer for deployable industrial compute in harsh environments.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

Physical-model-grounded AI

Training protocols that bind learned models to physical constraints by construction, not by regularisation.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

PQ-resilient industrial networking

Industrial protocol stacks engineered for post-quantum cryptography, with backward interoperability.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

R5

Community Technology

3 active

Community-scale water platform

A reference platform for decentralised water treatment with continuous quality telemetry.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

Distributed environmental sensing

Open sensing network for air and water quality, engineered for decadal operation.

BASIC APPLIED DEPLOY

Primary-care infrastructure

Engineering toolkit for primary healthcare infrastructure in underserved geographies.
