DESCRIPTION:**Unfortunately this seminar has been cancelled.** We apologi
 se for the late notice\, but the speaker has become ill and is unable to
  travel for the seminar. We are planning to reschedule for the spring se
 mester.\n\nAbstract: The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is the UK’s 
 National Measurement Institute. We are responsible for realising and dis
 seminating the seven SI base units\, ensuring that measurements made in 
 the UK are comparable to measurements the world over. This work underpin
 s not only UK trade and quality of life\, but also ensures that fundamen
 tal scientifc research is possible: without well-defined units\, measure
 ment becomes meaningless and research cannot make progress. We also carr
 y out a huge range of research into measurement-related topics\, working
  on everything from Earth observation to underwater acoustics\, and from
  cancer imaging to autonomous vehicles.\n \nThis talk will describe the 
 work of the Data Science department at NPL. Our team works with all the 
 other areas at NPL\, and with external companies and organisations\, to 
 help people make effective and reliable use (and re-use) of their data. 
 We use mathematics\, statistics\, and computer science to analyse\, fuse
 \, structure\, and store data and to move from data to knowledge. The ta
 lk will include a slightly deeper dive into the meaning of digital twins
 \, and will outline the challenges to be met if the full benefit of the 
 approach is to be achieved.
