DESCRIPTION:Professor Sir David MacKay (1967-2016) made fundam
 ental contributions to both public and theoretical
  understandings of energy and of information. He s
 erved as Chief Scientific Adviser to the Departmen
 t of Energy and Climate Change and was Professor o
 f Natural Philosophy in the Cavendish Laboratory b
 efore being appointed as the inaugural Regius Prof
 essor of Engineering. He was a Fellow of Darwin Co
 llege. \n\nThis one-day meeting of the Cambridge P
 hilosophical Society\, dedicated to his memory\, c
 onsiders both the urgent challenges of sustainable
  energy resources and the global opportunities ari
 sing from information technologies. We will be add
 ressing the two main themes of his work: machine l
 earning\, information theory and Bayesian inferenc
 e\, together with sustainable energy. The meeting 
 marks the tenth anniversary of David’s death\, wit
 h speakers who worked with David\, build on his co
 ntributions in the field of energy and information
 \, and share his values on the importance of clear
  and accessible communication.\n\nThe meeting in C
 ambridge University Engineering Department is open
  to all to attend\, without charge. The lectures w
 ill be live-streamed\; edited recordings will late
 r be made available through the Cambridge Philosop
 hical Society website. \n\nRegistration for both i
 n-person and virtual attendance is recommended and
  will open in December.
