Railway Systems Integration is a critical aspect of delivering functional, reliable railway systems.

The lecture will cover Sellafield's history, its past role in nuclear power, its importance today, and how science, technology, and innovation (including robotics and artificial intelligence) are helping it meet its current challenges and achieve its vision for the future.

This lecture will tell the story of a major three-year project, due for completion in summer 2025, that will reduce congestion, create a smoother flow of traffic and provide safer journeys for thousands every day.

Rimesh Patel (Rimesh.patel@ietvolunteer.org) Quantum technology is transforming security networks by introducing qubit-based architecture, which can outperform traditional computers in solving complex problems. These quantum computers can tackle encryption systems that would typically take conventional computers decades to crack. This advancement has sparked a focus on developing “post-quantum cryptography,” a new level of encryption designed to safeguard data from the power of quantum computing. Global research is intensively exploring this area, with experts predicting that within a decade, large-scale quantum computers may be capable of breaking most public-key cryptosystems, the backbone of today's internet security. This presents a dual challenge: not only a security issue but also a significant privacy concern, particularly when it involves personal information. Governments are especially vigilant, aware that adversaries could collect encrypted data now, only to decrypt it later when quantum technology becomes viable. Combined with the potential misuse of Generative AI to amplify cyber-attacks, the urgency to protect sensitive information from future quantum threats has intensified the race to innovate secure cryptographic solutions. In this talk, Raj will discuss the rapid rise in A.I & Cyber Security, Machine Learning & Detection of Threats and post-quantum cryptography to secure data. His talk will highlight opportunities and future visions in this field.

This presentation will explore how Additive Manufacturing and AI data processing tools can be utilised to build automated design-through-manufacture pipelines for patient specific devices.

Have you ever stopped to look at the many types of telecommunications towers, masts, or poles that line our streets, roadsides, or rooftops? Have you ever wondered why there are so many or what they do? This lecture will reveal all.
