Our panelist for this session are:<\/strong><\/div>\n
Carolyn Thomas \u2013 Mining and environmental engineer<\/div>\n
Carolyn has worked in the oil and gas industry ensuring regulatory approvals are in place to operate offshore platforms. She has managed safety and environmental issues of subsea production systems. Her various engineering roles have included environment, facilities surveillance, pipelines, metering, safety cases and risk assessment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Associate Professor Kate Fox \u2013 Biomedical engineer<\/div>\n
Kate uses 3D printing to make new medical implants. She is investigating new materials, like diamond, to make implants fit better with bone. She also worked on developing the bionic eye.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr Beena Ahmed \u2013 Electrical engineer<\/div>\n
Beena works at the crossroads of health and technology, applying machine learning algorithms on this data to improve our lives. These algorithms can warn us if we are at risk of dementia or insomnia, give us feedback on whether we are doing our speech therapy or language learning exercises correctly, and help us regulate our stress levels.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kate Cole \u2013 Certified occupational hygienist\u200b<\/div>\n
Kate works with businesses to prevent illness and disease in the thousands of workers in industries including construction, tunnelling, demolition, and contaminated land remediation.
