Event overview
In the second of our Queens of Tech speaker series, Prof Susan Stepney (University of York) speaks about her work in biologically-inspired computation.
If you have a PC, tablet, or smartphone, you have used a computer. But some people use billiard balls, beams of light, sticks of wood, chemicals, bacteria, slime moulds, spaghetti, even black holes, as computers (although some of these only in theory!).
How can these things be computers? What can they do? Can they do things your smartphone can't? And why are these people using such peculiar things to compute with, anyway?
Susan Stepney is Professor of Computer Science at the University of York, Department of Computer Science. Her main research interest is in non-standard computation, in particular concerning biologically-inspired computational models, and emergent systems.
