Ada Lovelace Day: A Celebration of Women in STEMM at UTS

23 October 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Free

The UTS Faculty of Science are celebrating Ada Lovelace Day (belatedly as the day actually falls on 9 Oct 2018) with a panel discussion, networking event with refreshments in collaboration with UTS Library and the Centre for Social Justice and Inclusion. Ada Lovelace was a 19th century English mathematician whose expertise and vision of computing’s possibilities, were unmatched by any of her peers. The celebration aims to increase the profile and intake of women into STEMM fields, research, subjects and vocations.

Be inspired by our guest speakers who will discuss their passions, defining moments and what drives their research. Featuring women in STEMM at UTS, opened by Dr Fiona Brooks, Associate Dean (Research) in the Faculty of Health, the event will be convened by Dr Willa Huston, Molecular Biologist and advocate for equity and diversity in STEMM.

  • Dr Arti Agrawal is Associate Professor and Director, Women in Engineering and IT.
  • Dr Eva Cheng is the Deputy Director of Women in Engineering and Information Technology, and Senior Lecturer in the School of Electrical and Data Engineering.
  • Theresa Dirndorfer Anderson is Associate Professor & Course Director of the Master of Data Science and Innovation in the UTS Faculty of Transdisciplinary Innovation.
