Lancaster University: Lancaster research excellence demonstrated at leading computing conference

Share A strong contingent of Lancaster University researchers have been demonstrating their work at one of the world’s most prestigious computing conferences. The annual ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems – which is the premier international conference on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) – brings together researchers and practitioners from across the world to showcase and discuss the latest interactive technology. This year’s conference, which was due to be held in Yokohama in Japan, was held virtually due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic between May 8th-13th. A cohort of 28 Lancaster researchers have presented their work at CHI2021, including eight full papers, two of which being awarded Honourable mentions, which recognise the top 5% of submissions. Other Lancaster researchers’ work accepted at the conference included one TOCHI journal presentation, two alt.chi papers, five workshops, one panel, one course, and one special interest group.

Big data and AI to unlock energy savings and help UK achieve its net zero ambitions

 E-Mail Lancaster University researchers will lead on the development of a new arsenal of artificial intelligence and data science tools that will unlock massive energy savings and help UK businesses in their goal of achieving net zero. Developed as part of a £1.6 million programme funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, part of UKRI, these cutting-edge algorithms will automatically and continuously sift through a deluge of data, finding new insights and recommending ways to slash energy consumption. Crucially, these new tools will be designed and developed to be transferred across a wide range of business sectors and organisations, and across different buildings and infrastructure. This will pave the way for the digital replication of energy efficiency savings, and a viral spread of the knowledge and techniques across sectors.
