Space Electronics and Materials

Specialisation in NewSpace Systems Engineering, MSc

Investigate how electronics and software can be made to work reliably, under extreme radiation conditions that degrade components rapidly. The levels of radiation exposure far exceed anything on Earth, and electronic components designed for use in space have to take that into consideration.
