For example, as transportation networks play a key role in moving goods and materials from suppliers to customers, Zach hopes to integrate models of global transportation networks into his models of global supply chain networks. WHAT ARE YOUR PROUDEST CAREER ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR? Math really is everywhere!” says Zach. “If

Feedback control — achieving desired behaviour by measuring what is happening and using this information to adjust the control inputs. Feedback control systems enable intended behaviour to be achieved in unpredictable operating environments,” explains Michael. It is often implemented in software on a computer.

For example, as our world is becoming more affected by climate change, chemical and biomolecular engineers are striving to find new ways to supply adequate fresh water to water-scarce communities and create novel methods of transport that do not harm the environment. What other achievements are you particularly proud of?

Given a defined “goal”, an AI can automatically work towards achieving it. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want. And that’s where we humans come in.

You could find yourself working in robotics, nanotechnology or sustainable energy generation, or contributing to efficient transportation, smart cities or personalised medicine. Complex maths and coding are often needed for robotics and artificial intelligence research. Electronics engineers are needed in a wide range of areas.

When the network is trained, those numerical weights are carefully tuned to achieve the results we want. But the crucial idea—that’s for example central to language—is that it’s possible to “package up” thoughts into something that be “transported” to another mind. But what if we just change them?

But while this might be a convenient setup for biology, it’s not at all clear that it’s even close to the best way to achieve the functionality we need. Is there for example some kind of notion of “parallel transport” that would reflect “flatness” in the space?

Ed was never officially a “test pilot”, but he told me stories about figuring out how to take his plane higher than anyone else—and achieving weightlessness by flying his plane in a perfect free-fall trajectory by maintaining an eraser floating in midair in front of him.
