You hear about 'machine learning', 'cutting edge silicons' or 'big data' popping up in tech news stories all the time, but what do these terms really mean and what good are they doing for you? Find out how these new technologies and techniques are helping industry, business and science more than ever before. Engineers and scientists from Candice Majewski's team will also be demonstrating and explaining cutting edge Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) research from the department of Mechanical Engineering. This venue serves bar snacks, and is fully accessible.
Data rules the world
Dr Will Jacobs
(Researcher)
Data has become a commodity in the 21st century - 'Big Data' is big business. In fact, you could say "Data rules the world". But how did this happen? Many of us will know the terms 'Machine learning', 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'Big Data'. In this talk we look at the science behind how a machine can learn, how something artificial can be intelligent, and just how big 'big data' really is. Find out how, with a powerful computer and a lot of data, scientists spanning all scientific disciplines are tackling fundamental questions (and big business is making a lot of money).
In silico: a biological experiment as an engineering problem
Anastasia Kadochnikova
(PhD Student)
In the century of technological progress, engineering scientists team up with biologists and clinicians in attempts to develop in silico tools that can support the decision-making process in diagnostics and disease management. In silico research offers a platform for running simulations of biological tests that are not only cost-effective but also take a small fraction of the time required to perform an experiment. From this talk you will discover how in silico models are created and refined, what challenges they present for the scientists and engineers, and how they can improve treatments.
