The G-Research Distinguished Speaker Symposium returns on Tuesday 16th January 2024, with an exciting line-up of speakers, as well as an opportunity to learn more about G-Research and network with our team.

The 2024 edition is our second Symposium and takes place at the Odeon, Leicester Square, where we’ll hear from three industry leaders on the Future of Chips and Electronics, before a joint Q&A and networking.

Our Speakers

  • Michael Kagan (CTO at NVIDIA) discussing the challenges and engineering heroics of cutting edge chip design and manufacturing
  • James Ashton (award winning author of The Everything Blueprint: The Microchip Design that Changed the World) talking about the rise of the microchip and the British tech company behind the blueprint of it all
  • Andre Geim (Nobel prize-winning Physicist) speaking about his own work with graphene, from the initial discovery to current scientific questions, and applications in electronics and beyond
Tickets are complimentary and travel costs will be reimbursed for UK-based students outside of London.

The details

16:00 – 19:00 Talks from our Speakers
19:00 – 19:30 Joint Panel Discussion
19:30 – 21:30 Drinks & Canapé Reception

The G-Research Distinguished Speaker Symposium

The flagship event in our Distinguished Speaker Series, the 2024 Symposium on the Future of Chips and Electronics is the second in our history, after the inaugural event in November 2022.

That time round, we heard from Sir Timothy Gowers FRSAlex Davies, and Kevin Buzzard on Computer Guided Mathematics at the Science Museum in Central London.

At G Research, we pride ourselves on cultivating a learning environment and giving people the opportunity to continually develop within their roles, both professionally and personally. For the Distinguished Speaker Series, we like to bring people together to give them the opportunity to hear about cutting edge work and interesting areas of science, mathematics, and technology. The events give us a chance to reflect on our own roles, but also learn from some of the best people in the world in their fields. For the Distinguished Speaker Series, we typically bring in leaders in their fields who are outstanding proponents of their area of interest, study or work. We usually invite one speaker to talk at each event, but for the Computer Guided Mathematics Symposium, we invited three. Sir Timothy Gowers, Alex Davies, and Kevin Buzzard. Right now I'm interested in teaching computers about modern research mathematics, so this is computer theory. Provers have existed for decades, but it's only relatively recently that they've started to understand what humans are doing, uh, in 2022, and that's what I'm interested in. Got excited about machine learning. When I was a undergrad at university, from a course that was given by someone who'd visiting from the tax office in Australia and showed how they were using machine learning to try and find tax sheets. I'd like to try to solve problems that have very simple statements, problems that draw you in immediately, that you don't have to have a lot of expertise, at least to understand the question, but the answers are often very hard to find, so simple to understand, difficult to solve. Those are the kinds of problems that really appeal to me. We are very interested in mathematics as a field, it's core to our work, and we hire some incredibly bright mathematicians into our research team, but we don't just focus on mathematics for our distinguished speaker series, and it's important to us to not just be a one track organization. We are an organization focused on ideas, and those ideas can be found in lots of different places. For attendees, the Distinguished Speaker series is a chance to hear from leaders in their fields giving exclusive talks that they wouldn't necessarily be able to hear elsewhere and to be able to engage with them through q and as and networking. It's also a chance for attendees to hear a little bit more about G Research and a chance for them to get to know the company a little better as well.
