Can't wait for our annual research workshop and Christmas get together... our first in Loughborough 💜

We’ve opened the doors to our new £5.8m DigiLabs, a suite of cutting-edge digital spaces for Loughborough students. 🎉

From hologram lectures to learning about cancer using VR & digitised 3D anatomy, these technologies are transforming teaching.

Had the pleasure to welcome Joyjit down in Loughborough today for his first real on-campus visit, discussing new ideas around generative AI, academia and industry collaboration... Great to have you on board on our LDR journey.

We're looking for a PhD student to join us in Oct 2026 for a PhD with our CDT in Offshore Wind Energy. The project looks at Human-in-the-loop learning for turbine inspection: AI/ML applied safely to make wind energy reliable. Chat with us if you're interested!!

Had a great time at DAFNI's 2025 Annual conference at the University of Sheffield last week finding out about responsible data and infrastructure sharing and lots of interesting projects that use AI in novel ways to build climate resilience and sustainability... www.dafni.ac.uk/annual-confe...

🤖 💬 New pre-print is out on Ben Chen's first paper: "ProactiMate: Evaluating LLM-Based Chatbots for Behavior Change Interventions" -- evaluating of how well current LLMs can help motivate users get on with tasks.

🌊 New article in Applied Ocean Research (Bessonova et al.) showing that ERA5 climate reanalysis underestimates wave height in extreme conditions in comparison with buoys... this can have huge impact when designing vessels + foundations for maritime structures.

Join us in Oct 2025 to research how Conversational AI can enable human-AI collaboration in the inspection of offshore wind farms. This PhD project is with our CDT in Offshore Wind Energy and Toshiba Research Labs in Cambridge!!

**Applications close 9 May**

The need for safe and responsible AI keeps on coming up, and rightly so... It's one of the reasons we've shifted our research in recent years to look at harder problems than we have before: low-resource languages, human-AI collaboration, and injecting formal expert knowledge into neural methods.

KKC is off to Lithuania 🇱🇹 to introduce her research on emotion analysis in AfroBeats 🎶 lyrics. And she's just getting started this summer on her Tour of Europe...

One of our original PhD theses coming to a successful conclusion... Lydia's research on flood forecasting using a combination of AI-driven data analysis, hydro-physical simulation and social sensing.

Our PhD researcher KKC, who manages to combine her interest in music with novel contributions in AI for low-resource languages and multilingual code-mixing... 💗

Six days left to apply for this PhD scholarship and join us at @lborouniversity.bsky.social in Oct 2025 to work on community climate resilience with LLMs 🍃💦
