We have three new positions available in the department - we are seeking to appoint three new academics at a level of either lecturer / senior lecturer or associate professor. For more details
New paper out from the lab today -
A study from the lab discovering how fiddler crabs are sensitive to the polarisation of light and how they process intensity and polarisation in parallel to give them the edge when it comes to spotting potential threats.

We’ve got a new paper out today showing how we can learn from nature - Bio-inspired orientation using the polarization pattern in the sky based on artificial neural networks
