2021-10-29 18:00 - 19:00 (Europe/London)
We are delighted to host Dr Clayton Thomas who will present an introduction seminar on corrosion in oil and gas and renewable energy applications. The session will be useful for those working in engineering, production and design who manufacture or supply engineering components and it will help them to gain an improved understanding of material specification and selection. The event will be jointly held with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers – United Kingdom Section.

Topics to be covered include:-

The cost of corrosionTypes of corrosion:Weight lossGalvanic corrosionMechanical factors and corrosion:Environmentally assisted fractureErosion and corrosionSpecific applications:Oil and gasOffshoreBasis of corrosion prevention:Material SelectionCoatings

Dr Clayton Thomas PhD, MMet, BSc (eng), ARSM, MICorr

I am originally from South Wales and currently live in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. I studied metallurgy at Imperial College and gained a PhD from the University of Sheffield looking at offshore corrosion fatigue. I worked for three years at British Steel technical as a metallurgical investigator and then corrosion test laboratory manager. I joined Cameron (now called One Subsea) in 1990, who are a major supplier of oil and gas completion equipment. I eventually became senior metallurgist and worked on major topside and offshore projects for operators such as BP, Shell. AGIP, Total and Conoco. I had responsibility for the material selection and corrosion prevention for topside and subsea projects and for the metallurgy and welding of equipment including wellheads, BOPs, flowlines, choke valves, risers, manifolds, Christmas trees and associated items. Since 2000 I have been director of Lloyd-Thomas Consultancy Ltd, providing metallurgical support and training. I have continued to work in oil and gas as well as other engineering sectors, such as power engineering, aerospace and biomedical. I have carried out numerous failures investigations and have acted as an expert witness in litigation cases. I have run over 250 metallurgy courses for companies and colleges on various aspects of metallurgy and I am an approved trainer for the AMRC which is part of the University of Sheffield and have run courses for the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IM3) and have been a member of the Institute of Corrosion for over 25 years.

تطورالذكاء الاصطناعي وتأثيراته على ألأمن السيبراني … سلاح ذو حدين
يسعدنا استضافة د. علي الشرباز في هذه الندوة ليلقي الضوء على تطور الذكاء الاصطناعي وتأثيراته على ألأمن السيبراني … سلاح ذو حدين
موعدنا معكم في يوم الجمعه ١٧ نوڤيمبر الساعه السابعه مساءً
Time: Nov 17, 2023 07:00 PM London

ملخص عن الندوه
مع تقدم تقنيات الذكاء الاصطناعي، تظهر تحسينات كبيرة في معالجة البيانات وقدرات اتخاذ القرارات. ومع ذلك، يقدم هذا التطور أيضًا تحديات غير مسبوقة في شكل تهديدات او هجمات إلكترونية متطورة، ولا سيما تقنيات التزييف العميق وانظمة اللغات الضخمة ودور العامل البشري والذي يمثل الحلقة الاضعف في هذا المجال . يتعمق البحث في كيفية مساهمة الحلول المدفوعة بالذكاء الاصطناعي في تعزيز دفاعات أمن المعلومات، وفي الوقت نفسه، كيف تشكل قدرات الذكاء الاصطناعي في التلاعب، تهديدات جدية لأمن وصحة المعلومات. يبرز هذا التناقض الحاجة إلى منهج متوازن في استغلال الذكاء الاصطناعي لأمن المعلومات مع البقاء في حالة تأهب ضد سوء استخدامه المحتمل. يقدم الاستكشاف رؤى في تطوير إطارات أمنية قوية قادرة على التكيف مع المشهد المتطور للتهديدات والدفاعات المدفوعة بالذكاء الاصطناعي

Generative AI tools and their impact on our lives
2024-02-17 18:00 - 19:30
Artificial Intelligence is increasingly becoming a major factor in our lives whether directly or indirectly. Major companies from various sectors are quickly adopting AI algorithms and applying them in numerous fields and disciplines to improve quality, accelerate production or provide better services. This has become evident through the high investment in AI and subsequently the increasing number of tools being invented. The benefits of these tools in solving real life problems are quite obvious. However, the misuse of this technology by people with ill intentions would potentially lead to negative outcomes and might put people’s lives in danger. In this webinar we will present some use cases and tools, and explain the impact of each tool.
