As the world pushes toward a sustainable future, electrifying transportation remains central to achieving net zero emissions. In 2024, more than 17 million electric vehicles were sold globally—more than one in five new cars—marking tremendous progress driven by advances in batteries, power electronics and charging technology. Yet, momentum has begun to slow, with affordability, charging infrastructure and material […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform healthcare; however, translating promising research into real-world clinical tools is a lengthy and challenging process. In this talk, Sebastian Goodfellow shares the ongoing journey of developing an AI-powered decision support system to detect and diagnose life-threatening heart arrhythmias in critically ill children. From early research and prototypes […]
Around the world, cities are racing to expand housing and infrastructure while facing the urgent challenge of staying within climate limits. Traditional approaches often fall short when timelines are tight and the stakes are high. Join Professor Shoshanna Saxe for an eye-opening talk on how short timelines for tackling big problems constrain the tools we can use—and innovative strategies that help […]
