About the session

The provision of an intelligent information infrastructure is vital to future growth in the UK and success in this area will be underpinned by advancements in the field of signal and data processing.

With the continued explosive growth of the Internet and mobile devices there are increasing challenges in processing, analysing, visualising, and distributing signals and data, commonly acquired from a heterogeneous mix of multimodal sensors and platforms, to extract useful information from the large data sets that state of the art sensor technology is now able to collect in real time from cluttered environments.

Application domains include defence systems, the digital economy and CYBER issues, healthcare, the Internet of Things, intelligent cities and sustainability including energy management - the list is almost limitless, the common denominator for new solutions in these areas is intelligent signal processing, incorporating information extraction and visualisation.

This two-day conference will offer you with a unique opportunity to gain insight into state-of-the-art technology in the field and to network with leading UK and international researchers and scientists.

    Dr James McLaughlan

    University of Leeds, Sch of Electronic & Elect Eng

    “James McLaughlan is a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow in the Ultrasound and Instrumentation Group, within the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Leeds where his primary focus is investigating the use of nanoparticles for breast cancer imaging and therapy. He is also part of the Leeds Microbubble Consortium, a multidisciplinary team working on engineering therapeutic agents for colorectal cancer treatment. He gained his PhD in 2008 and as a postdoctoral research associate at Boston University he investigated the use of optical contrast agents exposed to light and sound for the nucleation of cavitation for imaging and therapeutic applications. In October he will start a University Academic Fellowship at the University of Leeds, joint across the Faculties of Engineering and Medicine.”
