A flavour of UCL’s research /
At the very heart of UCL’s mission is our research.

We aspire to deliver a culture of wisdom and provide
a supportive environment where academic insight
can thrive, deepening knowledge and developing
solutions to problems worldwide. We encourage
academics to work across traditional subject
boundaries and have established numerous
centres to facilitate cross-disciplinary interaction.
Egypt in 3D
UCL’s Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology has launched an interactive
online 3D object library, allowing visitors to view the artefacts in the same way
as curators. The Arts Council England-funded project, part of a collaboration
with UCL Civil, Environmental & Geomatic Engineering and business partner
Arius 3D, is the latest in a series of 3D interactive projects from the museum.
Powered by cutting-edge photographic 3D imaging and scanning technology,
the library allows visitors to rotate and zoom in on the 3D images of artefacts,
catching fine details often not visible to the naked eye.

07
A fishy tale
Research led by archaeologists from UCL, the University of Cambridge and the
University of Central Lancashire has traced London’s international fish trade back
800 years to the medieval period. Data from nearly 3,000 cod bones found in
excavations in and around London is providing new insight into the globalisation
of the capital’s food supply. It has revealed a sudden change in the origin of the
fish during the early 13th century, indicating the onset of a large-scale import trade.
The Black Death is believed to be the cause of a temporary drop in imports in the
late 14th century, whilst a surge around AD 1500 coincides with the beginnings of
transatlantic trade and the arrival of cod from Newfoundland.
Gene genius
A global map detailing the genetic histories of various populations across
the world has been developed by researchers from UCL and the University
of Oxford. It reveals the likely genetic impacts of European colonialism,
the Arab slave trade, the Mongol Empire and European traders near
the Silk Road mixing with people in China. Researchers developed
sophisticated statistical methods to analyse the DNA of 1,490 individuals
in 95 populations around the world. As well as providing fresh insights
into historical events, the new research might have implications for how
DNA impacts health and disease in different populations.
A FLAVOUR OF UCL’S RESEARCH /

Light relief
A genetic tweak can make light work of some nervous disorders.
Researchers at the UCL Institute of Neurology have found that
using flashes of light to stimulate modified neurons can restore
movement to paralysed muscles. ‘Optogenetics’ has been
hailed as one of the most significant recent developments in
neuroscience and involves genetically modifying neurons so
they produce a light-sensitive protein. The protein then makes
the neurons ‘fire’, sending an electrical signal when they are
exposed to light. This new technique represents a means to
restore the function of specific muscles following paralysing
neurological injuries or disease and it is hoped that the
technique can be developed into treatments for patients
with motor neurone disease.
Water proofing
UCL and HR Wallingford, a specialist hydraulic research consultancy, are collaborating to construct the
largest tsunami simulator in Europe. The facility, funded by a €1.9million European Research Council
grant, will be 70m long and 4m wide, enabling the simulation of a tsunami impact on urban areas for
the first time. The new generator will also be used to evaluate whether flood and coastal defences are
effective against tsunamis, or how they may amplify destructiveness, causing more devastation to areas
previously thought to be safe. Once completed, the research will produce engineering guidance which
can assist in disaster management worldwide.
09
Eat your greens
A study by UCL Epidemiology & Public Health has found that eating
seven or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day can dramatically
reduce the risk of death. The study suggests that people can reduce the
risks of death by cancer and heart disease by 25% and 31% respectively
and dying prematurely at any point in time by 42%, compared to eating
less than one portion. The findings support the Australian government’s
‘Go for 2 + 5’ guidelines, which recommend eating two portions of fruit
and five of vegetables and go on to show that whatever your starting
point, it is always worth eating more fruit and vegetables.
Very smart phone

A team of UCL Electronic & Electrical Engineering students recently
won first prize in the ‘best use of hardware’ category at the NASA 2014
International Space Apps Challenge. Their project, Android Base Station,
allows smartphones to become wifi hotspots by connecting to satellites
using a 3D-printed robotic arm. The resulting ultra-portable, satellite
tracking station has the ability to log the changes of micro-satellites
in orbit, and automatically use one offering the cheapest bandwidth –
satisfying the judges, who were looking for innovative solutions for
global challenges, using publicly available data.
On yer (electric) bike

UCL Technology Entrepreneurship MSc graduate, Marcin
Piatkowski, has raised £180,000 in investment for his
new folding electric bike, Jive Bike. The first of its kind,
this Crowdcube-funded project is constructed from
aluminium and is chainless, being propelled instead
through enclosed drive shafts linked to the pedals.
In developing the idea, Marcin won both a £15,000
Bright Ideas Award and a business plan competition
organised by UCL Advances which provided him with
a further £10,000. UCL Advances also gave Marcin
one-to-one business advice. Orders for the bike – which
will retail at an anticipated price of £1,500 – have
already been taken.

Professor Melissa Terras

Professor in Digital Humanities
My research focuses on the use of

computational techniques to enable
research in the arts and humanities
that would otherwise be impossible.
I’m interested in – and have been
involved in – a variety of research
areas that span many aspects of Digital
Humanities, including imaging ancient
and medieval documents, 3D scanning
of cultural and heritage materials
and an iOS application to deliver text
analysis to a wide audience. My work
is fundamentally interdisciplinary and
cross-disciplinary: I’m proud to have
joint PhD students with Archaeology,
Medical Physics, Computer Science,
and Civil, Environmental, and
Geomatic Engineering! We aim to
explore how computational methods
can benefit arts and humanities,
heritage and culture, but also how to
use various technologies and to report
back on what it means to be using
these technologies in new ways. It is
a relatively new area and a vibrant
research field.

My PhD at UCL CoMPLEX is highly

throughout the degree I’ve worked
closely with professors in both
mathematical and medical sciences,
researching topics at the cutting
edge of both fields. I’m working on
statistical network models, which are
basically mathematical descriptions
of the patterns which emerge as a
result of interactions between discrete
entities such as friends on Facebook,
or in my research, human genes.
Friends on Facebook group together
naturally, and so do genes which
interact with and influence each other.
We’re approaching fundamental and
unanswered questions in mathematical
statistics, which is interesting in
itself, but there are also many wider
applications of such work. The
application we’re focusing on is the
identification of candidate biomarkers,
which might ultimately give warning
of disease risk or severity, as part of
medical screening and diagnosis.

SSEES PhD
My PhD uses a case study of the

response of a rural province to
the Russian famine of 1891–92
to understand how the late Tsarist
state functioned. The famine, which
killed between 200,000–400,000
people and saw 80 million people
receive food aid, was an event that
shook the foundations of the state
and contributed to the political
environment that would lead to
the 1917 revolution. The very
provinces affected by the famine
were seen as chaotic places and
backwaters, incapable of either
proper government or mounting
a proper response to crises. My
research challenges this by looking
at previously unseen archival material
and focusing on key provincial
institutions such as the governor,
provincial and district councils
and village administration. I aim to
show that despite being chronically
under-resourced, they were proactive,
sought to correct structural defects
and used the crisis to articulate
a strong sense of local initiative
and identity.
