Meet the Digital Worlds Theme Lead, Dave Topping, at Digital Worlds Fireside Chat: Meet Our Theme Lead!

"When we frame digital tools as an ecology, we draw on natural-system concepts to reveal how software, hardware, data, people, and the wider environment co-evolve. As Director of Digital Worlds, I’m excited to grow this perspective across the full breadth of the University’s research, positioning our work at the forefront of local, national, and international agendas." - Dave Topping

The Digital Worlds theme explores how digital technologies, from sensor networks through to digital twins, are transforming both real and virtual worlds, as well as the lives of those who inhabit them.

Come down to Room 4.206 at University Place on Friday 27th February to learn more about how Digital Worlds can support you.

The session will take place at University Place, Room 4.206.
