Order.  Order. 

And welcome to the Science and Technology Committee's second evidence session in our inquiry into the exciting area of low-energy computing.  Now this inquiry grew out of our Under the Microscope initiative through which researchers drew our attention to the potential of neuromorphic computing and silicon photonics.  And in our first session, we explored the science behind these technologies and their potential to make computing more energy efficient and the implications of that.  But today, we're going to turn to their practical application and the industry perspective.  And we want to understand where these technologies can deliver meaningful benefits, how soon they might be adopted more widely and what barriers stand in that way in their way. 

And to help us understand that, I'm really pleased to welcome our first panel. 

And I'm going to ask each of these industry experts to introduce themselves and their organisation and as they explain the neuromorphic technology that they use.  And so, if I could start with Dr Mangoma, could you introduce yourself, explain the technology are using, what's so special about it?
