Events

The Institute for Policy and Engagement runs regular events that help connect policymakers and the public with the exciting research taking place.

If you have any suggestions for events you’d love to see us organising, or if you’re running an event where our research might make a contribution, please get in touch.

Quantum resources and where to find them

Date
12/01/2020
Location:
School of Physics & Astronomy
Description
A lecture delivered by Professor Gerardo Adesso on quantum resources and where to find them.The quirky features of the quantum realm have puzzled scientists for a century. Microscopic particles can be in superpositions of two states at once — say heads and tails — and share entanglement, a correlation that defies their separation in space and time. Efforts in unmasking and controlling these features triggered a technological overhaul rivalling last century's industrial revolutions. This talk will venture into the foundations of quantum mechanics and illustrate recent progress in exploiting its most elusive signatures as resources for disruptive information and communication tasks.

Predatory bacteria: natural killers of problematic pathogens

Date
21/11/2019
Location:
School of Physics & Astronomy
Description
For this lecture, Professor Liz Sockett FRS, Professor of Bacterial Genetics in the School of Life Sciences, will explore some of the mechanisms by which bacteria invade and kill each other and explain what is needed to combat resistant infections.Professor Sockett studies predatory bacteria as potential alternatives to antibiotics for some bacterial infections and to understand the mechanism of prey invasion. It is important to develop alternatives to antibiotics as pathogenic bacteria are developing resistance to conventional antibiotics. Working out how bacteria kill each other naturally is part of the solution.This event will take place 6-7pm on Thursday 21 November in B1 School of Physics and Astronomy, University Park.
