Intel opens research labs in Cambridge
Posted on 7 Mar 2003 at 12:47
Intel has opened its own research laboratory in Cambridge University. Intel researchers and academic staff will collaborate on open research projects involving networking and software development technologies.
The focus of the lab, according to Intel's Director of Research, David Tennenhouse, will to be to develop future products which enable millions of small embedded wireless devices to work together. 'For these billions of networked devices to positively impact the way we live, work, learn and play, we need to understand how they should be designed and organised,' he said. 'This will require a cross-disciplinary investigation, involving extensive prototyping of networked systems and applications in a variety of settings.'
Intel Research Cambridge will support 20-25 Intel scientists and an equal number of university members (faculty, graduate students, and visiting researchers). It will be located in the university's high-tech West Cambridge campus, where it will nestle along side include the William Gates Computer Laboratory (aka the Microsoft Research Centre) and a newly completed Centre for Nanoscience.
Cambridge will be joining the ranks of universities in Seattle, Berkley and Pittsburgh - the three other Intel labs that make up the Intel Research Network. 'It is important for our University to be involved in taking R&D forward to the cutting edge. The collaborative nature of this lab will help us achieve that,' said Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir Alec Broers.
