- **Event Description**: One-day meeting - David MacKay: Energy and InformationAbout this EventProfessor Sir David MacKay (1967-2016) made fundamental contributions to both public and theoretical understandings of energy and of information. He served as Chief Scientific Adviser to the Department of Energy and Climate Change and was Professor of Natural Philosophy in the Cavendish Laboratory before being appointed as the inaugural Regius Professor of Engineering. He was a Fellow of Darwin College.This one-day meeting of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, dedicated to his memory, considers both the urgent challenges of sustainable energy resources and the global opportunities arising from information technologies. We will be addressing the two main themes of his work: machine learning, information theory and Bayesian inference, together with sustainable energy. The meeting marks the tenth anniversary of David’s death, with speakers who worked with David, build on his contributions in the field of energy and information, and share his values on the importance of clear and accessible communication.The meeting in Cambridge University Engineering Department is open to all to attend, without charge. The lectures will be live-streamed; edited recordings will later be made available through the Cambridge Philosophical Society website.You will need to make your own arrangements for lunch.You are welcome to buy sandwiches, cakes, snacks and drinks in the Engineering Department’s cafeteria on the second floor (only card payments are accepted), and you may also use this room to eat your own food.Hot Numbers, just across Trumpington Street, does excellent beverages (from 7am!) and hot food. Plenty of other options to be found in the centre of Cambridge, a ten-minute walk away.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/25f7e2a0-2669-11f1-a591-7f7175887899-rimg-w1200-h438-dc436137-gmir.jpg
