2022 winners and finalists

In our research, we develop radio frequency front ends, electronic circuits for a whole range of applications. These are crucial for anything that has wireless connection. So we started from scratch out of the box to make it low cost, low cost production methods. So the final terminal, hopefully at the end, give the user without upfront payment anything that has wireless capability, vehicles, homes, and offices in remote areas where there's no other form of internet. And that's going to change the satellite telecommunications industry completely.

My research is around how people learn to ethically navigate uncertainty and disagreement. And the teaching that I've done is primarily around quantitative literacy and things like critical thinking. We need to learn to communicate about and with data, and we're understanding the human-centred nature of it. It's not just the technical capabilities, but it's being able to use that to persuade people to explain what that evidence can inform us about and the impact potential there.

My research is looking at digital health tools such as structured telephone support, telehealth and telemonitoring. The COVID pandemic really brought the strength of digital health to the forefront. My research was able to inform the adaptation of health care from face-to-face format to remotely delivered. I think this next chapter as we move past the pandemic is really looking at using the best possible digital healthcare tools based on the evidence to keep patients at home safe and secure and connected with their healthcare team.
