Seminars
Speakers from a wide range of disciplines were invited to deliver seminars to NGCM and other students regarding their work in employing the latest computational techniques for their research, developing the latest innovative technologies, and the importance and impact for real-life applications. Speakers have included former NGCM students, practitioners in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and academics who have transitioned into industry, particularly those who have created their own start-up businesses.
Previous speakers have included:
- Prof Graeme Day from the University of Southampton. Building a computational engine to guide the autonomous discovery of molecular materials
