Join us for the final event of 2025 in Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki Lincoln University’s Excellence Series—an ongoing celebration of academic leadership and applied research that contributes to a thriving, sustainable Aotearoa New Zealand. These events highlight the work of leading scholars whose research is shaping both national and global conversations.
Computing has transformed almost every aspect of modern life, from how we work and communicate to how we analyse and solve complex problems. Yet as technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, understanding the interplay between human and machine intelligence has never been more important.
In this talk, Assoc. Prof. Stuart Charters will explore the evolution of computers and computing and how these technologies can be harnessed to amplify human intelligence, drawing on his extensive research in visualization, high performance computing, and evidence-based software engineering. He will discuss the ways computing can enhance human decision-making, creativity, and problem-solving, and share insights from projects that bridge theory, practical application, and emerging technologies.
This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research at the intersection of humans and machines, and to reflect on how advanced computing tools can support knowledge creation, innovation, and societal progress.
