Danielle George Engineer, astrophysicist and TV presenter, explaining how the internet of things is helping to solve some of the grandest challenges in engineering, on the Technology Stage, at New Scientist Live 2019
We have been measuring the physical world for a long time, so what’s changed? In a word, its connectivity. We can now connect myriad disparate systems and literally instrument the entire planet. The world is just beginning to recognise the enormous potential of connectivity and the insights we can gain from all the data acquired every day. This is set to have an enormous impact on the way we farm, fly, design cities and so much more. Danielle George will share some of the projects she is working on and how the internet of things is helping to solve some of the grandest challenges in engineering. Danielle George MBE is a professor of radio frequency engineering and associate dean for teaching and learning at the University of Manchester. Danielle started her career working at Jodrell Bank Observatory as a senior microwave engineer. Her work sees her as the UK lead for amplifiers in the Square Kilometre Array and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array telescopes. She has worked with NASA and the European Space Agency on the development of instrumentation to explore the big bang. In 2014 she presented the Royal Institution's prestigious Christmas lectures. George's research and development investigates low noise receivers and particularly: Microwave and millimetre wave monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design, Millimetre-wave radiometer development and characterisation, Low noise high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) parameter extraction and modelling, Cryogenic low-noise amplifier (LNA) and radiometer applications, Engine communications using radio frequency / microwave techniques, Improvements to focal-plane arrays Identification of weeds in horticulture crops using radio frequency (RF) techniques, George is the UK lead for amplifiers in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) telescope and has worked with NASA and the European Space Agency on the development of instrumentation for researchers exploring the Big Bang
