QMUL Leadership Helping Shape the Future of Automation
Centre for Networks, Communications and Systems9 November 2026
We are proud to see Dr Mona Jaber, Reader in IoT at the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, playing a leading role in bringing together policymakers, researchers and industry leaders to discuss the future of automation at the Houses of Parliament.
In her dual role as a QMUL academic and Secretary of the IEEE UK and Ireland Section, Mona helped plan and organise the IEEE Future Automation Industry Forum, creating an important platform for dialogue between research, innovation and public policy.
The event welcomed distinguished guests, including IEEE President Mary Ellen Randall, and featured discussions on the UK's AI strategy and the future of automation in smart and sustainable built environments.
This initiative reflects Queen Mary University of London's commitment to delivering research with real-world impact. Through our expertise in IoT, Artificial Intelligence, intelligent sensing, telecommunications, and smart infrastructure, QMUL researchers are helping to shape technologies and policies that will underpin the future of connected and sustainable societies.
Congratulations to Mona and all those involved in making this important event a success. We are delighted to see QMUL contributing to conversations that connect academic excellence, industrial innovation and national policy.
