Engineering experts from around the world are gathering at MIT, in Cambridge USA to discuss how data-centric methods can empower engineering research, education and the professional practice. Their goal is to identify salient engineering challenges and their associated methodological thrusts that will offer value, opportunity and impact in the years to come.
World-renowned speakers, including Professor Lord Robert Mair, Head of CSIC, who work at the interface of an engineering discipline and data-centric methodologies will present their perspectives to an audience formed of leading researchers from academia, industry and government sectors.
Professor Mark Girolami, Sir Kirby Laing Professor of Civil Engineering, University of Cambridge and Programme Director for Data-Centric Engineering at the Alan Turing Institute, chairs the organising committee for the workshop and CSIC Investigators Dr Matthew DeJong, Assistant Professor Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Materials (now at University of California, Berkeley), and Dr Ioannis Brilakis, Reader in Construction Engineering, Laing O’Rourke Centre for Construction Engineering and Technology, University of Cambridge, are part of the organising committee.
The conference starts on Monday 9 December and runs to 12 December
