Engagement & Highlights

Please find highlights and updates from The Alan Turing Institute, the UCL Turing University Liaison Team, and from the wider AI & data science community.


UCL TUT Change in Leadership. 听From September, 2024 Professor will take over as Academic Lead.听

Elsa is currently a Turing Fellow and听a Professor of Complexity Science at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA). She is a physicist with a masters in Mathematics (part III of the Mathematical Tripos) and a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Cambridge, UK. Her doctoral research was on Clifford algebras applied to Penrose's twistors, and to multi-particle wave-functions. She moved to the field of Complex Systems while visiting Prof. Henrik Jensen at the Complexity and Networks group at Imperial College London. Later she joined the group as a postdoc where, working with Prof. Kim Christensen as part of a multidisciplinary project funded by the EPSRC, her research focused on self-regulation in social systems. The work was done alongside Dr Ana Sendova-Franks, a biologist who manipulated ant colonies, Dr Torbjorn Dahl, an engineer who programmed robots, and Dr Angela Espinosa, a social scientist who developed an intervention for the viability of an Irish eco-village.

The TUT team remain as a group, comprising Prof听Elsa Arcaute, Prof听Miguel Rodrigues, and .听

听UCL Turing Fellows announced.听 In March 2024, the Turing announced its new cohort of Turing Fellows.Tne Turing听Fellows represent a community of exceptional researchers at the forefront of data science, AI and/or related disciplines.听 The Turing University Team can now听share the names of ourTuring Fellows from UCL.

The TUT attended AI UK - the UK鈥檚 national showcase of data science and AI in March.听听AI UK is a showcase of how data science and AI can be applied to society's biggest challenges, with a focus on The Alan Turing Institute's grand challenges, defence and security, environment and sustainability, and transformation of healthcare.听

The Chancellor has听announced 拢100 million investment in the Alan Turing Institute.听The investment will build on the work of the Turing, helping it to bring the AI community together to address national and international challenges in areas such as: health, environment and sustainability, defence and security.

Turing awarded 拢1.7M to convene new community of data professionals.听听The Alan Turing Institute has been awarded 拢1.7M by UKRI to establish a national network of professionals who work in data, such as data stewards, data librarians, data wranglers and data engineers.

The Turing has appointed four听new Directors to address society鈥檚 biggest challenges through data science and AI. The announcement, made on Wednesday 14 February, is a key milestone in implementing the Turing鈥檚 new strategy听 which shapes how the Institute will use data science and AI for social good.
