Imperial Tech Infrastructure Resilience

Virtual event | Wednesday 30 June 2021 | 11.00  – 12.00 BST | Via Zoom

What is this event about?

Join us if you are working on solving infrastructure challenges in materials, system design, security, monitoring and sensing to reinforce Infrastructure Systems, and Social & Community Resilience.

Imperial’s Faculty of Engineering investigates infrastructure resilience through the lens of the digital and human characteristics of systems, Internet of Things (IoT) environments, and the ability to continue operating when partially compromised. 

You will hear about innovative solutions for:

  • Infrastructure design and digital Modelling
  • Systems vulnerability of machine learning
  • Monitoring sensors
  • Metal characterisation
  • Low carbon materials

Is this event for me?

This event will be relevant for industry partners working in innovation in Industrial Engineering, Automation, Consumer Goods supply chain, Manufacturing, Construction, Computer Networking, Civil Engineering, Automotive, Chemicals, Energy & Resources management, Utilities, Telecommunications, Information Technology & Services.

This event is co-hosted by Imperial’s Industry Partnerships and Commercialisation team for the Faculty of Engineering, and Imperial Business Partners.
What is Infrastructure resilience?
Infrastructure resilience may be interpreted simply as the ability to reduce the impact – whether that’s the magnitude or duration, or both – of disruptive events.

Improving infrastructure resilience requires the abilities to: 

  • capture (infrastructure representation); 
  • anticipate (risk management); 
  • absorb and adapt (mitigation); 
  • as well as protect and/or rapidly recover (intervention) from a potentially disruptive event. 

Research and technology pitches

  • Systems approach to water infrastructure resilience
  • Understanding corrosion of metallic components through advanced characterisation techniques
  • CogniSense: Sensing without sensors
  • Digital infrastructure, ownership, and personalised interventions
  • Seratech: Carbon neutral cement for net-zero infrastructure
  • Infrastructure Resilience: Towards designing systems that can operate when partially compromised
