Research Funding
Behind each of these grants is a team of skilled technical professionals who design measurement set-ups, calibrate equipment and ensure that the facilities continue to operate effectively. Together, the 22 active grants represent around £12 million in research funding, all supported by the antenna and RF measurement capabilities developed and shared through MUSCAT. A key part of MUSCAT’s work is to support and develop the skills of the technical staff who make this research possible, both at Queen Mary and across our partner institutions
