The current state of play and the potential for DCE from a leading voice in the field of infrastructure.
About the speaker
Lord Robert Mair is Head of the Centre on Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC) at Cambridge University and Emeritus Professor of Civil Engineering. After working in industry for 27 years, in 1998 he was appointed Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at Cambridge and Head of Civil Engineering. He was Master of Jesus College 2001-11.
He is one of the founding Directors of the Geotechnical Consulting Group, an international consulting company based in London, and has extensive experience of design and construction for a wide variety of civil engineering projects in many countries, particularly those involving underground construction.
He was President of the Institution of Civil Engineers 2017-18. He is Chairman of the Department of Transport’s Science Advisory Council, Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Royal Society and the US National Academy of Engineering. He was appointed an independent crossbencher in the House of Lords in 2015 and until recently was a member of its Select Committee on Science and Technology.
About
Shaping and influencing the global dialogue on the intersection of data science and engineering, The Alan Turing Institute’s first-ever data-centric engineering summit will bring together world-class thinking on how data science tools and methods can improve the reliability, resilience, safety, efficiency and usability of engineered systems.
In addition to featuring topical case studies illustrating the application of data-centric methods, the summit will cover the adoption of new standards and current developments in ethics, policy and regulation. By combining meaningful, multi-disciplinary dialogue with insight from industry, the summit strives to grow the global conversation and community around data-centric engineering and promote the successful translation of research and innovation into real-world applications.
Join us to devise your data-centric engineering roadmap and solve your business challenges by getting a better understanding of how data-centric engineering is transforming industry, how projects are scaling, and what is being done to solve its core challenges at the intersection of statistics, engineering, data science and machine learning. The DCEng Summit will bring together the people and organisations shaping this emerging field.
Host and partners
As the UK’s national institute for data science and AI, The Alan Turing Institute runs the data-centric engineering programme (DCE) in partnership with the Lloyd’s Register Foundation. Bringing together world-leading academic institutions and major industrial partners from across the engineering sector to address new challenges in data-centric engineering, the programme is led by Professor Mark Girolami.
The summit’s media partner is the Cambridge University Press Data-Centric Engineering journal, a cutting edge, cross-disciplinary and open access journal focusing on research at the intersection of data science and a broad range of engineering subjects.
