Events
Year of Quantum – How Can Quantum Computing Solve Complex Industry Problems?
We’re delighted to share that Mr. Daniel Goldsmith spoke on “What is Quantum Computing” at the Year of Quantum event, hosted by Digital Catapult on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
The event featured inspiring talks and engaging discussions on the fundamentals of quantum computing, its groundbreaking applications, and the promising future of quantum technologies.
N. E. A. Badr, J. -C. Nebel, D. Greenhill and X. Liang, "WaViT-CDC: Wavelet Vision Transformer With Central Difference Convolutions for Spatial-Frequency Deepfake Detection," in IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing, vol. 6, pp. 621-630, 2025, doi: 10.1109/OJSP.2025.3571679.
This research focuses on building more efficient and explainable intrusion detection systems (IDS) for cloud environments where we proposed a lightweight IDS leveraging FastViT, combined with advanced feature selection to significantly improve the detection of minority intrusion attack types such as Web and Infiltration.
Sponsored by the Turing Grant and hosted by Prof. Filippo Caruso, Jack undertook a one-month PhD exchange visit with the Quantum Artificial Intelligence (QAI) research group at the University of Florence, Italy, in May 2025. During this visit, he expanded his professional network and established meaningful collaborations with researchers dedicated to advancing the field of quantum machine learning.
