Rob has been working in nuclear robotics for over 10 years and has been deeply involved in UK and international fusion robotics programmes as well as UK and international decommissioning research. Rob was responsible for leading various activities within the Robotics and AI for Nuclear (RAIN) Hub as well as developing and leading technical aspects of the LongOps programme, a £12M UK-Japan collaboration on digital tools to de-risk robotic decommissioning operations. Rob is currently leading on robotics within the UK Magnetic Fusion Research programme.</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-skilton" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">More about Robert Skilton</a></p><p></p><h2>Sriram Subramanian</h2><h3>Vice Dean (Enterprise) and Professor of Computer Science at University College London</h3><p>Sriram Subramanian joined UCL from the University of Sussex in July 2020 and heads the <a href="https://www.ucl.ac.uk/computer-science/research/research-groups/multi-sensory-devices" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">multi-sensory devices group</a>. He currently holds a Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies on novel interactive systems. His Chair and ERC Advanced grant are on the design and fabrication of new types of sound modulators with a specific emphasis on creating innovative displays, haptics and audio devices. He is primarily interested in the interplay of physical science, engineering and computation to design new and novel user-experiences. One example of such a design is the use of several hundreds of tiny ultrasonic speakers to create the sense of touch through air. This work led to the formation of Ultrahaptics (<a href="https://www.ultraleap.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.ultraleap.com/</a>) a Bristol-based haptics company that he co-founded. Before joining Sussex, he was a Professor at University of Bristol and prior to that a senior scientist at Philips Research Labs in Netherlands. He holds an undergraduate in Physics, Masters in Electrical Communication Engineering and PhD in Industrial Design.</p><p><a href="https://subramaniansri.github.io/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">More about Sriram Subramanian</a></p>
