McDonald is a visual artist working in painting, drawing, film and sound. Her works explore the origins of life on the planet and the information held within plant life. In ‘A space and time outside,’ she investigates Herbarium plant specimens brought back from the 1825 Franklin Arctic Expedition to explore germination and the potential…

Blanca Costa Ávila addresses the problem of respiratory distress due to fibrosis and stenosis of the airways produced by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. She suggests that implanting a bronchial splint solves airway stenosis and improves pulmonary ventilation.

We use machine learning to explore quantitative raw material data. Our algorithm delivers process information at unprecedented level of detail, which allows for improving production sustainability.   Tags: Artificial Intelligence, Circular Economy, Digitalisation, Energy, Engineering, Environment & Nature, Future /green cities, Renewable energies.

Quantification of subjective perceptions, such as smell and taste, and correlating it with medical conditions will add an additional dimension into diease diagnosis, particularly those that relates to respiratory symptoms. Leveraging on COVID-19 as an initial case study for the development of standardized test kits for smell and taste. Further…

The rapid integration of AI into all aspects of society raises urgent questions and presents significant dangers. AI technologies have been introduced in a range of sectors, with claims that automating sensitive social decisions improves outcomes and increases efficiency. From facial recognition and predictive policing data to automated HR –…

The mission of OzGrav is to capitalise on the historic first detections of gravitational waves to understand the extreme physics of black holes and warped spacetime, and to inspire the next generation of Australian scientists and engineers through this new window on the Universe. The Centre brings together the Australian…

The nominating institution Arizona State University on the breakthrough: ASU Prep Digital is Arizona State University’s innovative K-12 digital strategy for impacting learning outcomes at scale. Unique to online learning programs, ASU Prep Digital is deeply integrated with the university. More than 200 pathways into the disciplines offer direct access…

The nominating institute EPFL on the breakthrough: Reward-based learning underlies important aspects of human and animal behavior, and recent advances reveal detailed understanding of the underlying neuronal mechanisms in mice. Precise optical and electrophysiological measurements, optogenetic perturbations and computational analyses uncover fundamental mechanisms of brain function during simple forms of…

The nominating institute iGEM Foundation on the breakthrough: Wright’s Entrepreneurship Programme is a bootcamp for budding student entrepreneurs in the synbio field. We leveraged our network to create a truly global programme spanning regions, and fostered teams working across regions, while driving partnerships between stakeholders and mentors.

Information is to society as air is to a living organism. We have come a long way to embrace nature protection, conservation, and resource management in our pursuit of environmental quality. A similar comprehensive framework to ensure the quality of our information environment is however missing. My work builds on…
