State-of-the-art research and innovation facility launched at Nimbus Research Centre
The Nimbus Research Centre, based at MTU’s Bishopstown campus in Cork, has launched a state-of-the-art research & innovation facility, designed to accelerate advances in human-centred digital technologies.
This facility includes dedicated labs for systems prototyping, extended reality research and cyber security, providing an immersive environment for researchers, students, and collaborators, including industry and civil society.
The development of this facility was supported by MTU and through a strategic partnership between the Nimbus Research Centre and Cyber Explore Research Group, and was supported by Cyber Innovate, co-funded by the government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27.
The Nimbus Research Centre is a hub for research in digital technologies, including future networks, trusted digital ecosystems, human-centred design, data analytics, virtual worlds, and cyber security.
The Systems Prototyping Lab which focuses on resilient cyber-physical systems (CPS) is a cutting-edge facility designed to research, develop, and prototype end-to-end CPS solutions. It integrates capabilities across hardware, firmware, software, communications, networking, and end-user applications to create robust and reliable systems. The lab leverages advanced tools and methodologies to address challenges in the co-design of physical and computational elements, ensuring seamless interaction and optimal performance aligned with industry standards and needs.
The Extended Reality Innovation Suite consists of the latest virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality technologies to support and grow our innovation capacity and service the needs of Industry.
In response to the growing global demand for robust cyber security solutions, the Cybersecurity Prototyping Lab features advanced tools and technologies supporting research into next-generation security solutions, threat management, and digital resilience, addressing the increasingly complex challenges faced by businesses, governments, and individuals in safeguarding their digital assets.
Prof Hugh McGlynn, VP for research & innovation, said: “The fusion of human centricity and advanced technology development highlights our dedication to pushing the boundaries of digital innovation and empowering the next generation of researchers with the skills and technologies essential for success in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.”
