Inaugural Lecture of Professor Jason Reese, Regius Professor of Engineering

In this lecture Professor Jason Reese will describe recent advances in engineering analysis - across some 8 orders of magnitude in space, and 10 orders in time - which mean that ideas and designs for new products and processes can start being tested. This new kind of simulation-driven design promises to be a productive enabler of emerging technologies, propelling the UK to the cutting edge of multi-scale innovation.
