Dermot Turing lecture

Sir Dermot Turing & Alan Turing

Hub Public Lecture - 29 March 2022 at 18.30 BST

This public lecture, which is hosted by the EPSRC Hub for Quantitative Modelling in Healthcare, is intended to provide a platform for people to separate truth from fiction in the story of Alan Turing’s scientific accomplishments. Guest speaker, Sir Dermot Turing will be joined by Dr Kyle Wedgwood (Hub Co-Investigator and lecturer in the Living Systems Institute) to discuss and explore the scientific achievements of Alan Turing across his career. Starting from the efforts to “break” the Enigma machine, Dermot will decipher the real story of Alan Turing’s work.

Over the course of the evening, Dermot and Kyle will reflect on the impact of Alan Turing’s early machines on the development of modern computers, and later, on his contribution to answering fundamental questions about life and the natural world.
