Speaker on Demand (edit page)
Enhancing soil science research with multi-agent artificial intelligence systems
Prof Alex McBratney explores how AI tools can revolutionize soil science, helping researchers better understand and adapt soils—and the systems they nurture—to a changing climate.
Evolving surgical teams in the age of artificial intelligence and robotics
Prof Prokar Dasgupta explores how AI-embodied surgical robots can revolutionize surgical practice—and the implications for clinicians, researchers, regulation, and healthcare systems.
Nature Positive: halting and reversing biodiversity loss toward restoring Earth system stability
Dr Harvey Locke explores how a “Nature Positive” approach can halt and reverse the global decline in biodiversity and help to prevent the destabilization of Earth’s systems that support human well-being.
Waste to value: microbial electrochemical technologies for sustainable water, material, and energy cycles
Prof Uwe Schröder explores how emerging microbially-powered technology could harness the untapped potential of wastewater—powering agriculture, global sanitation, and helping meet UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Balancing food safety and sustainability: trade-off risk assessments and predictive modeling
Prof Martin Wiedmann explores how risk-based decision-making approaches to foodborne pathogens can build healthier, more sustainable, and more resilient food systems.
Obesity and climate change: co-crises with common solutions
Prof Jeff Holly explores how to change obesogenic, unsustainable food environments to achieve healthier, more sustainable outcomes for people and the planet.
Breaking the memory wall: next-generation artificial intelligence hardware
Prof Kaushik Roy explores how next generation AI hardware—powered by brain inspired algorithms—can break the memory wall and enable faster, more efficient, and adaptable AI.
Plastic pollution under the influence of climate change
Prof Frank Kelly explores how the climate crisis exacerbates plastic pollution—affecting the distribution, exposure, and impacts of plastics across ecosystems—and the actions needed to drive future solutions and systemic change.
