2019 Maurice Lubbock Lecture: Engineering at the crossroads: Lessons from History and a 21st-Century Vision from Across the Channel
Where is engineering going? Revolutions in knowledge, new challenges such as those raised by the digital revolution and the environmental crisis call for innovation in engineering education and professional practice. This is not the first time that engineering has had to adapt. Given jointly by Sophie Mougard and Antoine Picon, the lecture will begin by placing the current turning point within the broader history of the evolution of engineering. Following this generic introduction, the presenter...

Bubble Acoustics: from listening to the ocean to cleaning medical devices and fighting antimicrobial and antibiotic resistance.
By understanding how bubbles make sound, we can listen to the ocean, and track the >1 billion tonnes of atmospheric carbon that transfers between atmosphere and ocean annually when ocean waves break and trap atmospheric gas under the sea. The 44th Maurice Lubbock Memorial Lecture. Naturally-occurring underwater bubbles are extremely powerful sources of underwater sound. They act as sources for the sound of a waterfall or a breaking ocean wave, when those features inject atmospheric gas underw...

Will future communications technologies lead to cyber wars or a better world?
Communications technology has enabled massive social change over the past decades. However, the many benefits that we enjoy are accompanied by challenges - cyber security, inadequate coverage, the ease of spreading fake news, Naomi Climer will talks about where communications technology is heading including 5G and the internet of things (IoT) - what will be the ‘killer apps’ of the IoT? What could we do when everything is connected to the internet? How will we use all this extra bandwidth and sp...

Wireless Communications Using Light
In this lecture, Dominic O'Brien introduces the field, the challenges, and the promise for the future of this area of research. The demand for wireless communications is growing exponentially, and the radio spectrum required to meet this demand is increasingly crowded, leading to predictions of a ‘spectrum crunch’. Using light for wireless transmission is an attractive alternative. Optical wireless can offer access to almost unlimited spectrum, albeit with many implementation challenges.

Network Complexity and the Internet of Things
In this talk, Justin Coon explores the issue of complexity in the IoT from a fundamental perspective and provide some insight into what this means for practical deployments in the future. The evolution of wireless communication technology over the past two decades has led to severe engineering challenges concerning interference and network densi cation. As we begin to embrace the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, these challenges are sure to grow. Indeed, it is predicted that connection densiti...
