UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Machine Intelligence for Nano- Electronic Devices and Systems (MINDS)
Find out moreWhere machine intelligence meets the devices of tomorrow
The MINDS CDT at the University of Southampton brings together machine intelligence and nanoelectronic device research to build the next generation of energy-efficient, hardware-enabled AI systems. Backed by UKRI and grounded in one of Europe's leading nanofabrication facilities, MINDS researchers are working on the technologies that will power smarter devices, from intelligent sensors to next-generation semiconductor systems.

The UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Machine Intelligence for Nano-Electronic Devices and Systems (MINDS), trains researchers to design AI that works efficiently in the real world: on low-cost hardware, in embedded devices, across interconnected systems. Since our first cohort in 2019, MINDS researchers have been tackling one of the defining problems in AI development: how do you build intelligence into the physical devices that the world runs on?
Based at Southampton's Zepler Institute and School of Electronics and Computer Science, we combine expertise in AI algorithms, nanoelectronic materials and device fabrication — giving our researchers access to facilities and supervision that few doctoral programmes anywhere can match.
