Cyber Security in Cyber-Physical Systems: A Journey
-Cyberphysical Systems (CPS) are transforming the way we interact with the physical world around us. However, CPS systems present unique challenges due to the complexity, constraints, and dynamic nature of the interactions. Cyber security is a major concern in CPS systems, particularly due to the large amount of sensitive data...

Towards LLM-powered social assistants
-Research in multi-agent systems has a long history of borrowing social concepts from human society and developing computational counterparts, with the aim of promoting orderly social interactions in societies of autonomous agents. As human communication and coordination becomes increasingly mediated by software, this raises the question of whether we can...

Interdisciplinary seminar by Dr Andrii Iakovliev
-Interdisciplinary seminar by Dr Andrii Iakovliev (University of Edinburgh). Title: Identifying putative drug targets via aggregated genetic effects on distant gene function. Abstract: Genetic studies have historically fallen short of their promise for drug target discovery due to an oversimplified understanding of disease mechanisms. Existing approaches typically assume that disease-associated genetic variants primarily affect nearby...

Interdisciplinary Seminar by Xinmiao (Anna) Hu
-Interdisciplinary seminar by Xinmiao (Anna) Hu (University of Oxford). Topic: Effect of bottom thermal forcing on Baroclinic instability in a Jupiter GCM Note: Location is MT317 (Physics common room) not MT311 as usual. The atmospheric circulation of Jupiter is shaped by a complex interplay between deep internal processes and cloud-level dynamics. Numerical simulations...

Interdisciplinary Seminar by Dr Craig Stark
-Interdisciplinary seminar by Dr Craig Stark (University of Glasgow) Topic: Brown dwarf & exoplanetary atmospheres: a laboratory for plasma physics Abstract: Brown dwarfs are fascinating astrophysical objects, straddling the awkward transition from low-mass stars to gas giant exoplanets. As a result, brown dwarfs exhibit overlapping properties such as strong magnetic fields, dust cloud formation,...

Interdisciplinary Seminar by Dr Rodrigo García
-Interdisciplinary Seminar by Dr Rodrigo García (University of Edinburgh). Topic: Integrating Experimental and Computational Approaches to Understand Stem Cell Regulation Strategies. Maintaining and regenerating adult tissues requires precise regulation of stem cell numbers, proliferation, and differentiation. Dysregulation of these processes can lead to stem cell exhaustion or uncontrolled overgrowth, yet the mechanisms coordinating...

GRASP - Generative ReAsoning beyond Scaling uP
-Processing and generating language in ways that align with human expectations—both in communication and reasoning—requires computational representations that approximate how humans understand, abstract, and manipulate knowledge. Generative Large Language Models (LLMs), powered by vast data and extensive parameters, have achieved impressive alignment with human-like outputs. Though not explicitly trained for...
