The Invisible Trail: Are Microbes the Future of Forensics?

Microbes are often viewed as the villain of the story and in the current climate, we focus on eliminating microbes with products that boast the destruction of 99.9% of microbes. In Forensic Science, microbes have the potential to be a hero as, in every instance, we leave an invisible trail of microorganisms which could potentially tell a story. However, in a world where DNA evidence is seen as key, is there room for such a new interpretation of trace evidence? This talk seeks to stimulate discussion into the potential significance of microbes and its prospects as a new investigative tool.

Dr Computer Will See You Now: Medical Image Computing and AI for Medicine and Healthcare

We are living longer than ever and so are more at risk of old-age conditions including Alzheimer’s disease. Our scientists will explore their computational research into unravelling the mysteries of Alzheimer’s disease, and share some thoughts on the role of brain imaging and machine learning in 21st-century medicine and healthcare.

Affective Technology and Opportunities in Self-directed Ubiquitous Physical Rehabilitation

With the emergence of full-body sensing technology and advances in artificial intelligence come new opportunities to support people’s affective experiences and needs during self-directed ubiquitous physical rehabilitation. Our scientists will present our work on technology for chronic pain management and discuss how technology could lead to more effective physical rehabilitation by integrating it in everyday activities and support people at both physical and affective levels. Discover how technology can be embedded with the ability to perceive people's affective states through body movement.
