SUMMARY:Knowledge Snack webinar: The challenge of decarbonising energy systems in remote areas
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this Knowledge Snack webinar with Cardiff University Professor Liana M. Cipcigan and BAS Energy and Carbon Reduction Manager Parthena (Nopi) Exizidou\, Monday 2nd of November\, 15:30-16:30 on Zoom. \nPlease register for this free event on our Eventbrite page.\nThis Knowledge Snack will give an introduction to the BAS Net Zero Carbon Strategy focusing on the opportunities and challenges of decarbonisation\, and the importance of developing industry and academia collaborations to facilitate the low carbon transition. Liana will give us an insight into her work within the Decarbonising Transport through Electrification Network+\, and our collaborative projects on decarbonisation of transport through electrification in a whole system approach. \n15:30 Parthena (Nopi) Exizidou—BAS Net Zero Carbon Strategy and the importance of developing industry and academia collaborations \n15:40 Liana M. Cipcigan—Decarbonisation of transport through electrification in a whole system approach \n15:55 Cardiff Student projects—Energy Provision for Antarctic Infrastructure \n16:00 Q&A and discussion \nFollowing the Q&A session\, there will be an opportunity to continue the conversation on a zoom call—the Zoom details will be shared at the webinar. \nSpeaker biographies:\nParthena (Nopi) Exizidou is the Energy and Carbon Reduction Manager at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) since 2017. Her role focuses on driving the low carbon transition for all areas of BAS operations. Currently she is leading on the development of the Net Zero Carbon strategy for BAS with a focus on Infrastructure\, Transport & Logistics and Supply Chain. She is an engineer by background with several years of experience in research projects on energy efficiency in the built environment. \n  \nLiana M. Cipcigan is a Professor at Cardiff University’s School of Engineering leading Sustainable Transport cross-cutting theme and Director of the Electric Vehicle Centre of Excellence. She was at the forefront of the shift to electrified transport for over a decade being recognised nationally and internationally as an expert in Electric Vehicles and Smart Grids leading the £1M project “Decarbonising Transport through Electrification (DTE)”. She has collaborated widely with industry\, more recently during her secondment at National Grid under Royal Academy of Engineering Industrial Fellowship\, working in the Energy Insights department responsible for the Future Energy Scenarios. She has held as PI and Co-I grants in the excess of £6.5M from EPSRC\, Royal Academy of Engineering\, Innovate UK\, UKERC\, Welsh European Funding Office\, EU FP7/H2020 and industry.  She is a member of BSI technical committee ESL/120 Electrical Energy Storage\, European IEC/TC120/WG1 Electrical Energy Storage and Wales Smart Energy System Group. \nShe gave evidence to Economy\, Infrastructure and Skills Committee “EV charging in Wales” at Welsh Assembly (2018) and to Committee on Climate Change as a member of the “Reducing emissions from transport” panel in open meeting\, November 2019. \nRegister here\nIf you have any questions about the event or concerns about accessibility\, please contact the event organisers via email.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Snack: Digital Twins of infrastructure and the environment
DESCRIPTION:The idea of an Intelligent Digital Avatar conjures up many images from a complete virtual world that one can safely define\, develop and play in to rogue robots running amok and destroying mankind. The reality is much less dramatic but no less far reaching and exciting. —Professor Mark Girolami \nProfessor Mark Girolami will discuss Digital Twins and chart their history to present day technological capability and present some of the advances being made and the opportunities along with the open challenges faced to realise the potential of Digital Twins. Mark’s talk will be followed by BAS AI researcher Scott Hosking\, who will touch upon how developing Digital Twins of natural environments can help us intelligently focus our measurement sampling\, which would be a game-changer over remote and hostile environments such as the polar regions where battery power and accessibility is challenging. His team at BAS is already developing and deploying new AI-based methods to bring together the diverse scientific and engineering expertise and data held at BAS\, and from 2021 will start to align and integrate those efforts with those of the European Green Deal\, i.e.\, to develop a Digital Twin of the Earth by 2030. \n16:00 Opening welcome by BAS Director of Innovation and Impact\, Beatrix Schlarb-Ridley \n16:03 Mark Girolami \n16:18 Scott Hosking \n16:33 Q&A & discussion\, moderated by BAS Impact Facilitator\, Pilvi Muschitiello \nTo join the talk please fill in the registration form at the bottom of the page—A calendar invitation with Zoom details will be sent to you following registration.\n  \nSpeaker biographies:\n \nMark Girolami holds the Sir Kirby Laing Chair of Civil Engineering at the University of Cambridge where he also holds the Lloyds Register Foundation-Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Data Centric Engineering in the Department of Engineering at Cambridge. Mark was one of the founding executive directors of the Alan Turing Institute the UK national institute for Data Science and AI. He is Programme Director at the Turing where he leads the £60M Lloyds Register Foundation Data Centric Engineering programme. He has a background in the Statistical Sciences and held the Chair of Statistics in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London before his election to the Sir Kirby Laing Chair at Cambridge. In January 2020 he delivered the IET/BCS Turing Lectures in London\, Manchester and Belfast on ‘Digital Twins the next phase of the AI revolution’. You can access a recording of the talk here. \n—\nScott Hosking is the Head of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) environmental research institute\, and a Senior Research Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute the UK national institute for data science and AI. Scott is also a Co-Director for the University of Cambridge Centre for Doctoral Training in the Application of Artificial Intelligence to the study of Environmental Risks (AI4ER)\, a £6m UKRI funded programme to train over 50 top students to become future global leaders in environmental science. His research group focuses on AI and data science methods to identify and understand the physical mechanisms that drive high-impact climate events with the aim to reduce uncertainties in future predictions and help inform environmental policy.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n—
