Originally the lectures were given on electrical science and technology but this was later broadened to any aspect of engineering. The lectureship was originally endowed by The General Electric Company in memory of Clifford Paterson FRS, who founded the GEC Research Laboratories in 1919. The Clifford Paterson Medal and Lecture is given for outstanding contributions in the field of engineering. The talk shows how suitable data are sourced, algorithms are designed and fed into predictions, and how these predictions are borne out by experiments. It also requires algorithms that suitably encode structure-function relationships into data-mining workflows that progressively short list data toward the prediction of a lead material for experimental validation. The success of such a data-driven materials discovery approach is nonetheless contingent upon having the right data source to mine. Thereby, large-scale data-mining workflows are fashioned to predict successfully new chemicals that possess a targeted functionality. A ‘design-to-device’ pipeline for materials discovery will be demonstrated. Professor Cole will describe how one can combine the predictive power of artificial intelligence with data science and algorithms to discover new materials for the energy sector. After 2 years of delays due to the global pandemic, Professor Cole now has the opportunity to deliver the Prize Lecture. Professor Jacqueline Cole was awarded the Clifford Paterson Medal and Lecture 2020 for the development of photo-crystallography and the discovery of novel high-performance nonlinear optical materials and light-harvesting dyes using molecular design rules. Join us for the Clifford Paterson Lecture 2020 given by Professor Jacqui Cole.

The papers address how scientists from Africa who were Black, indigenous, or other people of colour defined 'science' and how they drew from local knowledge about the natural world and the human body. ![]() This conference responds to this important concern within the history of science by highlighting the lives and careers of African scientists who lived during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In recent years this approach has been challenged both inside and outside the academy, with scholars and journalists alike calling for more studies which seek to understand the proactive roles played by individual scientists who originated from indigenous colonial communities. The story of the historical relationship between science and empire is often told in brushstrokes, with scientists who originated from outside Europe being relegated to supporting roles. The story of African scientists in the 19th and 20th centuries, and how European science was shaped by colonial and postcolonial contexts. ![]() African scientists in colonial and postcolonial contexts, 1800-2000
