Launched in 2023, this conference is part of an initiative to foster a vibrant research culture and promote dissemination activities at the School of Engineering, Cardiff University, United Kingdom. The conference provides a platform to celebrate achievements in various engineering disciplines, and to explore and discuss further advancements in the diverse fields that shape contemporary engineering. In 2024, the structure of the conference programme reflected the crosscutting themes and collaborative nature of the research, and was built around current and emerging research areas in the School:
1. Bio-based engineering brings together all of the engineering topics that interface with medicine or biology. This theme recognises both the pivotal role technology plays in revolutionizing healthcare, and the implementation of biological processes in providing novel solutions to engineering problems.
2. Computational modelling and digital twins represents cutting-edge research into virtual representations of objects or systems that are updated with real-time information and used to guide decision-making. The School’s research in this area focuses on developing smart materials and structures, and sustainable processes that help create a sustainable and greener economy.
3. AI and deep learning focuses on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques in engineering. The School’s research in this field harnesses the power of AI in medical applications and in agriculture, improving the health and wellbeing of society.
4. Net zero is a testament to the School’s commitment to a greener, more efficient future. The aim is to advance energy technology and play a key role in addressing the increasing demand for sustainable and low carbon technologies while reducing environmental impact and ensuring a sustainable environment. The School’s work helps to drive forward net-zero solutions for achieving the government carbon targets.
5. Future engineering represents state of the art technologies for the next generation such as wireless communication systems and future power systems engineering. This theme showcases the exciting and emerging interdisciplinary work being done in the School of Engineering.
