Scientific Meeting- Computation by Natural Systems: March 21st-22nd

Theo Murphy scientific meeting organised by Dr Dominique Chu, Professor Christian Ray and Professor Mikhail Prokopenko.

Over recent years it has become clear in various sciences that many natural systems perform computations. Research into the properties of these natural computers remains fragmented along disciplinary boundaries between computer science, physics, engineering and biology. The objective of this meeting is to overcome the fragmentation by bringing together researchers from different fields to discuss their latest finding on natural computation.

More information on the speakers and programme will be available soon. Recorded audio of the presentations will be available on this page after the meeting has taken place.
