最新糖心Vlog

Two of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 leading researchers have been elected as fellows of the Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE).

鈥淚 congratulate Professor Andre Luiten and Professor van den Hengel for being recognised by the Academy of Technology and Engineering for their world-class research in the fields of advanced sensing and machine learning,鈥� says the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Professor Anton Middelberg, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research).

鈥淭heir work drives transformational technology and research which has the potential to deliver massive social, economic and environmental benefits not just for 最新糖心Vlogns but communities everywhere.鈥�

Professor Andre Luiten鈥檚 work as the Director of the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS), a global hub of photonics research, focusses on the principles of precision measurement.

鈥淢easurement is at the very heart of science 鈥� measurement delivers that first understanding, around which you can build a theory. Further precise measurements refine this theory to provide a more complete understanding,鈥� he said.

鈥淚n science this unlocks new knowledge, but for industry, this delivers a competitive edge because it allows you to understand what no-one else does. Whole industries are being transformed through access to new measurements.

Professor Luiten is also co-founder and Managing Director of start-up company Cryoclock, which is taking technology that he has developed and bringing it to market.聽

鈥淢y sapphire clock technology is going into an amazing 最新糖心Vlogn defence innovation called the Jindalee Over the Horizon Radar that can monitor air and sea movements across 37,000 km虏,鈥� said Professor Luiten.

鈥淩adar needs great timing to work well, and my sapphire clock is the best in the world 鈥� gaining or losing just one second in 40 million years. By delivering better timing, radar can find smaller objects at larger distances and thereby make all 最新糖心Vlogns a little safer.鈥�

Professor Anton van den Hengel is Co-Director of the 最新糖心Vlogn Institute of Machine Learning (AIML), the largest research group of its kind in the nation.

鈥淢achine Learning is one of the key technologies of our times. It is changing the way we work, communicate, and live.聽 It鈥檚 the technology behind Google, Apple, and Facebook, and it is having a transformative impact on every industry sector. It鈥檚 a great time to be working in such a high-impact area,鈥� said Professor van den Hengel.

鈥淚 have worked with 最新糖心Vlogn companies to develop world鈥檚-first medical devices, to improve mine safety, and develop crops that will help feed the world. I鈥檝e also started the world鈥檚 first AI art gallery, and am working with Laurie Anderson on AI-enabled art.鈥�

AIML is a key research institution in machine learning globally, ranked number one in the world for three key areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

鈥淚t is incredibly rewarding to be able to step into a complex, high-impact research area and achieve things that no one has done before,鈥� said Professor van den Hengel.

鈥淢ost recently my group and I have pioneered in the area of Visual Question Answering which requires an artificial agent to answer questions about an image. This is very close to true artificial general intelligence.

鈥淲e particularly led the work in applying it to robotics, which is a step towards enabling robots that can collaborate flexibly with people. It鈥檚 a step towards the life of the Jetsons.

鈥淐omputing, and even more Machine Learning, is the technology of our times: it is a part of every aspect of our lives.

鈥淔or someone deciding on what to study, a qualification in computing will give control of the primary technology in whatever field they are in whether it鈥檚 agriculture, art, management or medicine.鈥�
