On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Dr Liwan Liyanage was showcased as a distinguished researcher in the NSW Smart Sensing Network. Her work played a pivotal role in the OPENAIR air quality sensors initiative, which involved the NSW Government, five universities and local councils. The recognition of her work is a significant achievement, particularly for the scientific community. It is hoped that her accomplishments will inspire and motivate future generations of female researchers.
During the conversation with NSSN, she discussed how her work emphasizes the importance of data quality and accountability in modelling techniques, particularly for the development of reliable and transparent AI solutions that benefit the public. She also expressed her desire to raise awareness about sensor data-driven initiatives that help policymakers improve human, animal, and planetary health.
