Step inside UCL’s VR (Virtual Reality) Lab, marking 30 years of immersive research. Our VR Club offers a chance to explore virtual reality firsthand from historic headsets to exploring the VR CAVE (one of the first in the UK) to the latest technologies, all within one of the department’s specialist facilities. The club meets every third Wednesday of the month. In this Reel, Professor Anthony Steed talks us through some of the VR headsets through the ages. Interested in joining? The VR Club is open to UCL and non-UCL visitors. Contact Professor Anthony Steed: [email protected] or Professor David Swapp: [email protected]

Our Vice Dean for Education, Professor Liz Jones, will be in China over the next few days to meet our future students. If you’re an Engineering offer holder, then join Professor Jones in Beijing (19 April), Chengdu (23 April), Wuhan (25 April) or Shanghai (26 April) to learn more about studying at UCL, the Faculty of Engineering Sciences and the opportunities available to our students. We look forward to connecting with students in person and discussing their future studies. #UCLChina #StudyInLondon #StudyAbroad #LoveUCL

Join us for an inaugural lecture from Professor Elaine Pimentel, part of our UCL200 celebrations.   Elaine Pimentel is Professor of Logic and Computation, whose work spans logic, automated reasoning, and widening participation in the field.   In Proofs, Meaning, and Inclusion, she will explore what it means to do logic today,  from automated reasoning to the role of inclusion in shaping the field.   📍 UCL Bloomsbury (Roberts Building) 📅 Thursday 14 May 🎟️ Book your free place via the link in our bio 🎥 Hybrid event. Livestream available   As we mark 200 years of UCL, this lecture is part of a wider programme celebrating research, innovation and the people shaping the future.   #UCL200  #InauguralLecture #Logic  #WomenInSTEM

On this day in 1976, Queen Elizabeth II sent her first email using ARPANET, becoming the first monarch to do so. The moment was closely connected to UCL. Professor Peter Kirstein, founder of UCL Computer Science, helped bring ARPANET to Europe, enabled the connection used in the demonstration, and captured the iconic photograph. 50 years on, it remains an early milestone in the history of global networking. @theroyalfamily #UCL200 #ARPANET #InternetHistory #queenelizabeth #RoyalFamily

We’re so proud that four semiconductor ventures founded by UCL researchers have been selected for the latest ChipStart UK cohort, the government‑backed incubator for the UK’s most promising early‑stage chip companies. Spinouts from UCL make up one‑third of this year’s cohort, and are all from UCL Electronic and Electrical Engineering (UCL EEE): Abacqus (Professor Neil Curson, Dr Taylor Stock and Associate Professor Mark Buitelaar from UCL EEE / London Centre for Nanotechnology): building a modular dopant‑in‑silicon quantum computing platform, enabling scalable qubit systems compatible with industrial fabrication. Orbicom (Dr Yilmaz Gul, Professor Sir Michael Pepper and Dr Stuart Holmes from UCL EEE / LCN): developing a semiconductor spin‑orbit qubit architecture with improved coherence and control for future quantum processors. Altro Photonics (Farah Comis and Dr Alfonso Ruocco from UCL EEE): creating the photonic integrated circuit platform to power the next generation of classical and quantum data centres. Nibras Communications (Dr Amany Kassem, Prof Zhixin Liu, Dr Zichuan Zhou and Alex Bennett from UCL EEE): designing ultra‑low‑noise photonic signal sources for satellite and high‑performance communications.
