Curtin AI in Research Forum – AI in Action: Enhancing Research Through Artificial Intelligence

Join us for an insightful and fast-paced showcase of how artificial intelligence is being applied across diverse research disciplines. Researchers curious about using artificial intelligence to accelerate their research are encouraged to attend.

The 90-minute session will explore various applications of AI in research through case studies presented by Curtin academics. Discussion and a light lunch will follow.

Five leading researchers will each present a short, powerful talk highlighting a unique AI use case in their field. From medical science to media, psychology to organisational behaviour, this event will explore how AI is enhancing and accelerating research outcomes in real-world applications.

Presenters include:

• Welcome from the DVCR, Professor Lindy Fitzgerald
• Alex Jenkins, Director, WA Data Science Innovation Hub
• Professor Katie Ellis, School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Enquiry

This is a fantastic opportunity to see the breadth of AI’s potential in academia and beyond—and to connect with others exploring similar possibilities.
