During this Michaelmas Term, Cambridge Zero is organising a second series of Virtual Research Symposia, to highlight all the exciting and ground-breaking research on climate change, net-zero and zero-carbon solutions happening across the University of Cambridge. The aim of these events is to help build and strengthen our internal Cambridge Zero research community, and to encourage new connections and collaborations. This term in particular, we also want to highlight important Cambridge research contributions in the run-up to the COP26 UN Climate Summit in November. The Symposia will take place on Wednesday afternoons throughout the term, with each week focused on a different theme.

Keynote Speakers:

• Prof Markus Kraft, "Intelligent Decarbonisation and The World Avatar Project"
• Prof Srinivasan Keshav, "Climate, Carbon, and Computer Science"
• Prof Jennifer Gabrys, "AI for Earth: Investigating the Social Consequences of Environmental Technologies"

Early Career Researcher Presentations:

• Yen-Fang Su, "AI-enabled sensing technology for sustainable infrastructures"
• Scott Jeen, "Reinforcement Learning for Energy Efficient Control"
• Joycelyn Longdon, "Monitoring Ghanaian Forests with Machine Learning, Bioacoustics and Indigenous Knowledge"
• Simon Thomas, "Defining Southern Ocean fronts using unsupervised classification"
