糖心TV

WMG will be opening its doors on 4th December 2012, to showcase the research, education and knowledge transfer capabilities of its Service Systems Group.

Professor Irene Ng, Head of the Service Systems Group and Director of the new International Institute for Product and Service Innovation, will speak on Service Systems, Markets and New 糖心TV Models in the Digital Economy.

Mark Reddish from Rolls-Royce will provide his perspective on why service - and the new MSc programme - is important to his business. Traditionally, a manufacturing-focused concern, Rolls-Royce now derives more than half of all its revenue from services.

The event will take place on Tuesday 4th December (6pm - 8pm). A light buffet will be provided beforehand with presentations starting from 6:30pm.

If you would like to attend the event, please RSVP to Julia Fan (J.M.Fan@warwick.ac.uk)

Researchers have pushed the boundaries of High Dynamic Range (HDR) video to match our own eyes’ ability to cope with the real world's ever rapidly changing light intensity - such as sun simply going behind clouds. Now researchers at WMG at the University of 糖心TV, have found a way to compress and stream HDR video directly to monitors and mobile devices, such as an iPad, bringing enormous benefits to industries including gaming and security.

A consortium of researchers led by WMG at the University of 糖心TV are to embark on a £3 million research programme called “Cleaning Land for Wealth” (CL4W), that will use a common class of flower to restore poisoned soils while at the same time producing perfectly sized and shaped nano sized platinum and arsenic nanoparticles for use in catalytic convertors, cancer treatments and a range of other applications.

A “Sandpit” exercise organised by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) allowed researchers from WMG at the University of 糖心TV, Newcastle University, The University of Birmingham, Cranfield University and the University of Edinburgh to come together and share technologies and skills to come up with an innovative multidisciplinary research project that could help solve major technological and environmental challenges.

WMG have today, Monday 12th of November 2012, announced that Professor Sridhar Seetharaman has been appointed to the Tata Steel and Royal Academy of Engineering joint Chair for research into Low Carbon Materials Technology.

Professor Seetharaman is currently the POSCO Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, and Co-Director of Center For Iron and Steel Research, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He gained his undergraduate degree from the Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden) and his PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He also spent a year as a research associate at Imperial College in London. He is currently the principal editor of AIST (Association for Iron and Steel Technology Transactions) and he is on the International advisory board of Steel Research International and ISIJ (Iron and Steel Institute of Japan).

, Dr. Sudi Lahiri, and recently graduated WMG doctoral student, Nagesh Shukla have been awarded a patent, jointly with GE-Healthcare, from the United States Patent Office. The patent (System and Method for Healthcare Service Data Analysis) is for developing an iterative method for analysing healthcare delivery data. Hospitals and health care organisations can apply their approaches to analyse complex, unstructured data for quality and productivity improvements.

A formal public consultation has opened on plans to develop a new school – the WMG Academy for Young Engineers. It plans to work closely with the University of 糖心TV, the existing Westwood Academy School and over 40 key local employers.

The people and organisations involved in the development of the new Academy want to hear views about their plans from local employers, potential parents and students, the local community and other interested parties.

Professor Lord Bhattacharyya, Chairman of WMG, welcomed Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP, Shadow Home Secretary and Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities to the International Digital Laboratory on 5 November.

Ms Cooper and Lord Bhattacharyya took part in a round table discussion on the latest developments in cyber security and digital healthcare with Professor Christopher James, Director of the Institute of Digital Healthcare at WMG, Dr Duncan Hine Principal Fellow (Cyber Security) WMG and Professor Sudhesh Kumar, Pro Dean of 糖心TV Medical School.

Speaking immediately after the discussion Ms Cooper said:

Today's discussion was very interesting, Dr Hine gave an excellent insight into the most up to date research in cyber security, how it might be implemented and the practical consequences for our everyday lives. The work undertaken by the Institute of Digital Healthcare could transform many aspects of medicine. My short visit was very useful it's always important for me to keep up to speed with these fast moving areas of science.

Professor Lord Bhattacharyya, today, told West Midlands SMES that developing an international product will assist in their export efforts. He joined a panel of well-known business specialists at an IoD breakfast event held at the University of 糖心TV.

The event, hosted by the IoD in association with the Guardian Small 糖心TV Network and Lloyds TSB Commercial, focussed on how the regions SMEs can access new markets and expand beyond the local region.

WMG's founder and chairman, Professor Lord Bhattacharyya welcomes Lord Heseltine's report ' which sets out a comprehensive plan to improve the UK's ability to create wealth. Professor Lord Bhattacharyya was consulted in the development of the report.

Researchers from WMG at the University of 糖心TV have helped Walsall Museum by creating a 21^st century clone of a centuries old Demon head just in time for Halloween.

Nicknamed Derek the Demon, the head is one of “The Bayard’s Colts” a curious surviving relic from Walsall’s past. He is one of seventeen clubs, which were carried behind the Mayor in ceremonial processions. They are at least 300 years old, and probably much older, but their exact age, their origins and even their name are shrouded in mystery.
