JCU staff and students are making a difference in STEM. From making breakthroughs in the science of keeping premature babies alive to exploring how COVID-19 will change cities, and searching the past to help predict future fire patterns, the impact of the of JCU women is far reaching and influential.
Explore just a few of those stories and be inspired to make a difference.
AI breakthrough in premature baby care
As part of her PhD work, JCU engineering lecturer Stephanie Baker led a pilot study that used a hybrid neural network to accurately predict how much risk individual premature babies face.
Baby sharks help break down barriers
Dr Jodie Rummer is breaking down barriers for aspiring female scientists. Discover how Jodie’s journey to become a prominent voice for women in science began when she was young.
Drones delivering research data
JCU's Dr Karen Joyce explores the opportunities, and efficiency, that drones bring to her field.
How COVID-19 will change cities
The origins of town planning show that it has an important role to play in the management of infectious disease. JCU Associate Professor Lisa Law discusses how planning and urban design could change our cities in the aftermath of COVID-19.
Killer snails: Working with deadly sea creatures
JCU's Dr Sue-Ann Watson investigates environmental changes on marine organisms, including cone snails.
Listening to the sound of the Earth’s interior
JCU's Dr Lauren Waszek studies energy from tiny earthquakes that are unnoticeable to human senses and uses artificial intelligence to speed up the work.
What can dirt from the past tell us?
JCU researcher Emma Rehn is using innovative techniques that could help predict future fire patterns.
When disaster strikes
Dr Yetta Gurtner is the coordinator of The Centre for Disaster Studies, a multidisciplinary research unit at JCU. She works with people across all levels of government on disaster risk reduction.
