牛津大学宣布其新的研究生院将专注于人工智能和机器学习以及环境变化的“两大挑战”。

该大学于8月份首次由泰晤士报高等教育学院揭晓，将在博士后研究人员和研究生中进行跨学科研究，主要是数学，物理和生命科学部门以及其他一些学科，该大学在一份声明中表示。

该大学任命负责牛津大学工程科学系的电气工程教授Lionel Tarassenko担任校长，负责监督学院的发展。

塔拉森科教授表示，新学院将“利用各种专业知识，将具有好奇心的研究人员聚集在一起超越自己的主题”。

“在物理，自然和人类行为科学的关系中，气候变化和生物多样性丧失等问题取得进展。令人兴奋的研究发生在学科之间的边界，”他说。

牛津大学说，它将在2019 - 2020年开始招收200名研究生。

新学院将占据Parks Road历史悠久的Radcliffe科学图书馆遗址，这标志性建筑建于1901年，由着名建筑师 Thomas Jackson爵士设计。

杰克逊先生的其他设计包括著名的叹息桥。

预计大多数学生将来自数学，物理和生命科学系的各个部门 - 但其他学科也将有代表。

名字尚未被选中，但建议该学院将于2019年至2020年开始招收200名研究生，并于2020年9月入学。

牛津大学副校长Louise Richardson教授邀请Lionel Tarassenko教授担任校长众议院，监督新学院的发展。

塔拉森科教授现任工程科学系主任。

理查森教授说：“莱昂内尔已经监督了60多名博士生，并且非常有资格领导牛津大学第39个学院。”

The University of Oxford has announced that its new graduate college will focus on the “two major challenges” of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and environmental change.

The college, first revealed by Times Higher Education in August, will see postdoctoral researchers and graduate students working on interdisciplinary research, mostly between those in the mathematics, physical and life sciences division, but also with some other disciplines, the university said in a statement.

The university has appointed Lionel Tarassenko, a professor of electrical engineering who leads the department of engineering science at Oxford, as head of house and to oversee the development of the college.

Professor Tarassenko said that the new college would “harness diverse expertise, bringing together researchers who have curiosity beyond their own subject in common”.

“Progress on issues such as climate change and the loss of biodiversity is being made at the nexus of the physical, natural and human behavioural sciences. Exciting research occurs at the boundaries between disciplines,” he said.

Oxford said that it would begin recruiting 200 graduate students to the college in 2019-20, with a view to them arriving in September 2020.

The new college will occupy the historic Radcliffe Science Library site in Parks Road, whose signature building was constructed in 1901, designed by the renowned architect Sir Thomas Jackson.

Mr Jackson’s other designs include the Examinations Schools and the celebrated Bridge of Sighs.

It is anticipated that a majority of students will be drawn from departments across the Division of Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences – but other disciplines will also be represented.

A name has not yet been chosen but it is proposed that the college will start recruiting 200 graduate students in 2019-2020 for admission in September 2020.

The Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, Prof Louise Richardson, has invited Prof Lionel Tarassenko to become Head of House, to oversee development of the new college.

Prof Tarassenko currently leads the Department of Engineering Science.

Prof Richardson said: “Lionel has supervised more than 60 doctoral students and is superbly qualified to lead Oxford’s 39th college.”
