<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the outcomes of the C-IoT Away Day was to get experts from different application domains (outside of IoT) to come and tell us about the challenges faced in their fields that IoT could potentially help with. In light of this, I’m
hosting a visitor on 11 June who is a consultant for the mining industry and interested in IoT and sensor development (see bullet points below). His interests seem to cover sensor development through IoT devices/networks through data analytics, comms, security
and ML – i.e. pretty much everything we do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I haven’t had any previous contact with him, but he would appear to be someone worth speaking to in this context (PhD from Camborne School of Mines, Chartered Engineer, Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Mining and Metals, worked in
the industry a long time, etc).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m going to propose that he gives a presentation to the Centre while he’s here about the problems and challenges in the industry/application domain, but wanted to check that we’d have some relevant people to attend first!? If you’re interested
in attending, <b><u>please can you let me know TODAY any times that you could or couldn’t do on the 11 June</u></b>, and I’ll do my best to avoid scheduling the presentation for then. If you’d also like to meet with him while he’s here, please let me know
(if not, there’ll be opportunities to discuss after the presentation if it lights any lightbulbs).<o:p></o:p></p>
