10th October 2024

The Bristol Branch of the RAeS in conjunction with the South West and Wales Branch of the IMA are pleased to announce the joint event:

AI In Aerospace

Lecture 1: Can You Tell a Mathematician from a Fish?

Prof Chris Budd OBE FIMA
University of Bath

Data based machine learning is one of the fastest
growing areas of AI and is having a transformative
effect on all industries. In this presentation we will
look at some of the mathematics which underpins this
capability, what strengths it possesses, and what its
limitations are.

Lecture 2: Deep Generative Models in Aircraft Aerodynamics

Xavier Bertrand FRAeS

Airbus

Deep learning has proven effective in capturing and
modelling complex aerodynamic patterns. In this
presentation, we will look at how advanced generative
algorithms such as GANs, VAEs or Diffusion Models
support the generation of accurate aerodynamic
models early in the design process at Airbus.

The event will be held on Thursday the 10th October 2024 at Aerospace Bristol, Hayes
Way, Patchway, BS34 5BZ.
Doors open at 5:30pm, lectures start at 6:30pm, event ends at 8pm.
Between doors opening and the lectures all attendees can enjoy a free drink (alcoholic
and non-alcoholic options available), Canapés, Networking Opportunities, and a tour
of the last Concorde to fly, G-BOAF.
Members and Non-Members Welcome
