About this Event
Professor Date will reflect on his journey, from a provincial college in India, through his scholarship-funded doctoral studies in engineering at the University of Cambridge to his current position at Brunel.
The problem of estimating latent or hidden states of a dynamical system from noisy observed data often arises in many branches of science, including navigation, weather prediction and mathematical finance. ‘Filtering’ refers to any method for obtaining such state estimates, recursively in time, by combining model predictions with noisy observations.
Filtering theory is one of the hidden cornerstones of modern life; most weather prediction, on-board aircraft guidance and GPS based navigation are based on a variety of filtering algorithms.
Professor Date has been working on filtering and its diverse applications for the past two decades.
The inaugural lecture will outline some of his significant contributions related to filtering and prediction in dynamical systems, delving into fascinating applications in accurate forecasting of financial variables such as interest rates and commodity prices.
Professor Date hopes you will join him for a drinks reception after the lecture.
What is an Inaugural Lecture?
An Inaugural Lecture marks a significant milestone in any academic career. Join us as we celebrate the extraordinary careers and research excellence of our academic colleagues, recently joined or promoted to Professor.
In these special open lectures, our professors welcome family, friends, colleagues and members of the public for a memorable evening unpacking their research expertise and offering insights from their career journey.
The Inaugural Lecture Series showcases a wide range of subjects and professorial expertise. These beacons of Brunel’s research community are leaders in their wider field, presenting their expertise, free and open to all.
