SUMMARY:IoTSF Webinar: Quantum Safety in IoT
DESCRIPTION:The rapid proliferation of IoT devices across critical industries – e.g. automation\, healthcare\, smart cities – has introduced significant security challenges. Whilst current cryptographic protocols safeguard data today\, upcoming developments in quantum computing threaten to render these protections obsolete. And this threat is amplified by the actions of adversarial nation states looking to disrupt critical industries whilst engaging in hybrid warfare. \nThis presentation explains the implications of quantum computing on IoT ecosystems. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will have an understanding of quantum safety\, what it means for IoT\, and a sensible timeline of future actions. \nSteven Kennedy is a seasoned cybersecurity architect with deep expertise in securing some of the most complex networks in the world (e.g. Tier 1 telecoms\, hyperscale public cloud). After working for several years in Microsoft cybersecurity product management\, he took the plunge to become a self-employed consultant. Working with Blue Mesh Solutions\, he’s focused on using his knowledge of cryptography and quantum mechanics to help clients transition smoothly into the post-quantum future. \nRichard Brooks sent the first IoT hello world message as ‘hello 5G’ across a private 5G network in the UK. \nThis was all part of the UK Government’s 5G Accelerator Programme and involved collaborators from Hutchinson Ports\, 3 Telecom\, University of Cambridge\, the Port of Felixstowe and Blue Mesh Solutions. Exploratory use cases were developed including autonomous port haulage vehicles and our IoT based project to create digital twins of the large quayside container cranes. \nCritical strategic assets\, such as ports\, require hardened IoT estate encryption\, and testing new encryption technologies to present a harder\, quantum safe cryptography stance became the final outcome of the project\, leading to new quantum safe MQTT solutions and a best in class commercial partnership.

SUMMARY:IoTSF January 2026 Webinar
DESCRIPTION:With Anupam Mediratta (Stealth Startup) – Building Adaptive IoT Security with AI-Generated Attack Simulation and Florian Lukavsky (SignPath) with all the CRA latest. \nIoT attacks have surged 400% year-over-year\, with AI-powered threats now bypassing 78% of traditional security measures.  \nManufacturing faces 906 unique threat signatures\, while critical infrastructure absorbed 71 billion attack attempts in 2024 alone.  \nTraditional detection methods are fundamentally broken. \nThis talk presents groundbreaking research that flips the script on IoT security: using AI to generate synthetic “hard-negative” attacks that train smarter\, more resilient detection systems.  \nWe combine diffusion-based generative models with pre-trained time-series foundation models to create attacks that mirror real-world APT tactics—from polymorphic malware to living-off-the-land techniques. \nOur approach specifically addresses the critical gap in current IoT security: the insufficient diversity of attacks in training data.  \nBy generating synthetic attacks that maintain benign statistical properties while executing malicious actions\, we prepare defences for threats that don’t yet exist in the wild. \nWith malicious APT groups targeting cyber-physical systems and “malware sentience” emerging through AI-powered autonomous attacks\, this research offers a critical path forward.  \nWe’re not just detecting known threats—we’re anticipating and defending against the AI-enhanced attacks of tomorrow. \nAnupam Mediratta bio: Anupam is an entrepreneur in the field of AI and Machine Learning. He was previously a PhD student (now a dropout) at the University of Edinburgh\, where he became interested in applying AI to IoT security. He has been an IoTSF professional member for the last few years\, which has helped him understand the space of IoT Security. He has also been a tech/ML lead at Microsoft\, Uber and a couple of startups. He also holds a few papers/patents in the field of AI.

SUMMARY:Women in TechWorks Webinar:  From root-cause to right-first-Time: Using proactive failure analysis to accelerate innovation
DESCRIPTION:Failure analysis has long been seen as a forensic science – a way to diagnose what went wrong after a product fails. \nBut what if we moved this expertise upstream? \nIn this talk\, I’ll share how traditional failure analysis techniques can be transformed from post-mortem tools into powerful methods for preventing failures in product and process development. \nBiography\nSuzanne Costello is a physicist and engineer who has spent her career uncovering the hidden stories inside materials. \nAfter graduating from Heriot-Watt University with a Master’s in Physics\, she earned an Engineering Doctorate in Microsystems Engineering. \nHer doctoral work on hermeticity testing led to the publication of a technical book that remains a reference in the field. \nFollowing her doctorate\, Suzanne transitioned directly into a role with her industry partner where she quickly excelled and ultimately rose to a leadership position. \nThis experience gave her deep insights into both the technical and commercial sides of the electronics industry. \nAlong the way\, Suzanne also became the first female Chair of IMAPS-UK\, championing collaboration and knowledge-sharing within the microelectronics community. \nShe founded Forensic Eyes to blend proactive and reactive failure analysis\, integrated product development support\, and tailored technical training to help engineers build more reliable products. \nWhen she’s not in the lab or leading a workshop\, Suzanne enjoys sharing her experience of being a woman in technology\, celebrating the progress made\, recognising the challenges that remain\, and inspiring others to see failure not as the end of a story\, but as the beginning of understanding.

He is a member of the Academic Accreditation Committee of the IET. \nAdiabatic Logic Design for Low-Cost\, Low-Energy Processing \nFlexible electronics\, fabricated using\, for example\, Thin-Film Transistors (TFTs) are a promising technology for applications such as AI/ML at the edge. Such technologies often only implement N-type transistors and thus require pull-up logic\, which is very inefficient in terms of energy. \nAdiabatic logic was proposed as a low power technology several decades ago. The underlying principle is that logic gates should only be turned on as they are needed and not turned off when they are active. This is achieved by using the clock\, or multiple clock phases\, as the power supply for logic gates. Adiabatic logic designs have been proposed that use both NMOS and PMOS transistors\, but designs that use only NMOS transistors are possible. In order to achieve the promised energy efficiency\, however\, such circuits are very slow compared with modern CMOS technologies\, which means that adiabatic logic has never achieved widespread acceptance. On the other hand\, modern flexible electronics operate at relatively low frequencies. Thus\, adiabatic logic may prove to be an appropriate technique for low power design in these technologies. \nIn this talk we will look at how adiabatic logic can be implemented in an N-type technology. We will look at some circuit designs and show that the energy-efficient clock speeds of adiabatic logic are compatible with the clock speeds achievable in flexible electronics. Nevertheless\, formidable design challenges exist. Existing design tools are not compatible with adiabatic design styles. Signal paths need to be carefully balanced in order that the correct clock phases activate logic in sequence. In principle\, some energy recovery is possible in adiabatic circuits\, but we need to consider on-chip energy storage. \nPeter Birch\nHardware Lead Engineer\, Fractile \nPeter Birch is a Hardware Lead Engineer at Fractile\, working in the silicon team to deliver industry leading throughput and efficiency for AI inference workloads.

He has produced\, 25 US Patents and 14 IEEE publications. \nCollaborative Ecosystem as a key enabler of AI Driven Wafer Scale Data-Centres Research \nAt IMEC Cambridge UK\, we are currently involved in the pathfinding research of the xTCO in the domain of AI workload driven compute systems. Next-generation systems will need to handle AI models with over 100 trillion parameters or more\, driving an exponential increase in compute capacity demand. The power requirements of these systems are skyrocketing. Data centres consume between 2% and 3% of the world’s electricity (approx. 400 Terawatts)\, according to the International Energy Agency. AI enabling data-centres can consume a massive power of at least 500MW which is enough electricity to supply two million homes. As put forth by Feryal Clark\, Minister for AI\, “Just like coal and steam powered our past\, AI is powering the future. A significant portion of this energy is consumed by the data movement between isolated racks within data centres. Wafer-scale compute (WFC) aims to reduce this power consumption by integrating and packing compute and memory elements as close as possible. The key integration challenges in a WFC are driven by embedded memories which can be an SRAM\, DRAM or any other form of emerging memories\, in the orders of Terabytes\, achieving latencies in the order of Petabytes/second\, power delivery through vertical power delivery systems at high voltages with 500V to 1V integrated voltage converters in the order of 5 to 10Watts/mm2 and thermal extraction of a similar order. Advanced packaging is therefore another challenge due to heterogeneous integration of chiplets\, which involves advanced materials and their fusion with silicon e.g. Glass\, GaN etc. and is now playing a critical role in system design. Apart from advanced materials\, advanced packaging also involves new technologies like TSVs and hybrid bonding and their associated modelling for design co-optimization. IMEC pathfinding research has played a vital role in advancing the industry leading technology roadmap e.g. Gate-All-Around transistors\, Back-Side power delivery and continues to do so atleast with a decade margin between the conception and the productization. To convert brilliant but challenging ideas into successful products\, collaborative framework is pivotal at Imec. Imec Cambridge UK has been established to enable such a collaborative framework with UK Academia\, Start-ups and Industries to enable AI workload driven compute system. Our talk is aimed at the audience who are facing similar challenges in the field of wafer scale compute and see a value addition in such a collaborative framework with Imec.OUTLINE AGENDA \n\n\n\n\n\nTIME\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n09:00\nRegistration\n\n\n10:00\nTechWorks DESN Introduction – Scene setting and objectives\n\n\n10:10\nTHEME: The Future of Digital Design \nAs product roadmaps grow more demanding\, the design challenges are intensifying.

SUMMARY:AESIN October Tech Talk: Autonomous driving: What could possibly go wrong?
DESCRIPTION:With Dominic Taylor of Cōnsilium Aquīs Sulis.\nBuilding on the 2025 AESIN conference presentation\, ‘Fifty years of autonomous driving\, lessons from the Rail Industry\,’ this TechTalk will describe some of the things that can\, and sometimes do\, go wrong with autonomous vehicle operation. \nThese include faults in the automation systems themselves\, which can lead to vehicles driving to the wrong place\, stopping in the wrong place or\, in more extreme cases\, fatal collisions. \nThey also include interactions with human drivers and passengers\, who can be misled into performing unsafe actions or suffer traumatic experiences as a result of deficiencies in automation systems\, and the wider operational environment. \nDrawing on real-world illustrations\, the talk will show what has at times gone wrong with rail automation and what lessons could be learnt for automation in the Automotive Sector.

SUMMARY:TechWorks AI Webinar: Best practices for developing AI systems
DESCRIPTION:With Dr. William Jones\, Head of AI\, Embecosm\nThis webinar introduces the Techworks Best Practices in AI Guide\, a structured\, living reference to help teams plan and execute AI and ML projects. \nThe guide is organised around five core questions that capture the essential phases of an AI initiative\, from project definition through deployment. \nEach question is broken into a sequence of concrete tasks\, with explicit requirements and evidence metrics to track progress. \nWe’ll walk through: \n– The conceptual framing of the guide and its role as a continuous tool (not just a one-off checklist) \n– How the five major questions ensure comprehensive coverage of design\, development\, and deployment phases \n– The task tables: how to interpret them\, decide which tasks are optional\, and use the ‘evidence / done’ structure for accountability \n– Best practices for iterating back through earlier steps as insights emerge \nAttendees will finish with a clear understanding of how to apply this methodology in their own AI/ML projects and how to structure decision-making\, track progress\, and ensure no critical phase is overlooked.
