Invisible Forces: From AI to Atoms Shaping Your World

AI emerged from a gradual convergence of logic, mathematics, and engineering—from Aristotle to modern machine learning and AI agents. This talk explores how probability, computing power, and data enabled today’s systems, their real-world uses, and the challenges ahead in safety, reliability, and regulation.

Some of the most powerful solutions to today’s biggest challenges are too small to see. This talk explores how tiny, engineered materials—working at scales beyond the naked eye, are helping to improve human health and tackle climate change. From cleaner environments to smarter therapies, discover how the invisible world is shaping a more sustainable future.

Parkinson's disease affects ~10 million people worldwide, yet its tremor remains poorly understood and treated. This talk explores how ion channels—tiny cellular pores—and the protein LINGO1 influence nerve signals and tremor, highlighting research at DkIT.

Imagine a metal that can “remember” its shape—Nitinol. Using Laser Powder Bed Fusion, we can build it layer by layer with precision. This talk explores how we’re programming movement into materials, enabling smart implants, adaptive devices, and next-generation engineering.
