The Department of Computer Science and Technology’s next Research Showcase is taking place on Wednesday 24^th January 2024 at 16:30.

At this event, an early-career researcher will reveal how old weather forecasts can help us design future energy systems.

We'll meet one of the team that recently developed an algorithm that uses computer vision techniques to accurately measure trees almost five times faster than traditional manual methods.

There'll also be a talk on how the increase in remote working has led to electric vehicles being more frequently plugged in at home, enabling their use as bi-directional energy storage units within photovoltaic-powered microgrids.

And we'll hear a PhD student discuss how AI can help design and improve biomolecules that can make a tangible difference to environmental challenges, ranging from plastic degradation to replacing petrol-based chemistry through biochemistry. 

The event is free to attend. Please join us if you would like to do so. It will take place in the West Hub (opposite the Department building), starting at 16:30. There will be a series of short presentations, followed by refreshments and the chance to meet and chat to the researchers.
