Profile
ISLI sits at the critical interface between the academic and commercial engineering worlds. The Institute is focused on knowledge transfer in enabling technologies, our vision being to increase the value and extent of company engagements in high level R&D. We strive directly to bridge the research exploitation gap, encompassing Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) 3 to 6, by engaging both industry and academia individually and in common projects.
ISLI was founded in 1998 as the world’s first centre of excellence to concentrate on postgraduate education and research in the methodology and applications of system-on-chip design, system level integration and related software and hardware technologies. Its focus remains on the issues of integrated systems and creating application value from knowledge. As the activities and skills in our home economy have shifted from large scale SoC application to technologies such as FPGA, embedded processing and wireless communications, so have we.
Our skills through our founding academic partners, encompass:
- Analogue, digital and ASIC electronics
- FPGA, DSP and image processing implementation
- Silicon MEMS [standalone and with integrated CMOS]
- Embedded software
- Wireless
The Institute is a collaborative venture of four leading universities: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt and Strathclyde. ISLI draws on the academic expertise of the university departments of computer science, electronic and electrical engineering and informatics to deliver leading-edge research and taught postgraduate programmes.
