The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering invites you to join our Industry Mentoring Network in STEM (IMNIS) Catalysts, Samantha Papavasiliou, Kay Myo Min and Olumide O Opeyemi as they talk STEM careers and their lives both in and beyond the lab.

Samantha Papavasiliou researches digital adoption behaviours in the Australian Public Sector to inform and tailor its communication channels. With a PhD in digital transformation and adoption, she works at the Australian Taxation Office as a Service Review and Redesign Project Manager and data analyst. Samantha applies behavioural analytics and predictive modelling to help organisations communicate with their users.

Kay Myo Min is in the final stages of her PhD investigating novel pathways involved in the growth and spread of pancreatic cancer. Kay has a great interest in innovative research with real life translations, science communication (especially with regards to bridging the gap between the scientific community and the general public), gender equity, public policy and sustainability science.

Olumide O. Opeyemi is a PhD student researching the use of non-invasive in vivo MRI scans and computational fluid dynamics to diagnose occult cardiovascular disorders. Olumide was born in Ondo Town, Ondo State, Nigeria and has lived in numerous places across four continents. He was offered an Adjunct Professor position post-graduation, then returned to London to start and grow a family healthcare HR business.

The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering invites you to join our Industry Mentoring Network in STEM (IMNIS) Catalysts, Dr Navpreet Kaur, Catriona Nguyen-Robertson, Dr Greg Bass and Fatematuz Zohora as they talk STEM careers and their lives both in and beyond the lab.

Dr Navpreet Kaur is a biotechnology PhD student with skills microbiology, downstream processing, upstream processing and bioprocessing. An enthusiastic team-player, she has carried out several scientific projects allowing her to showcase her skills such as attention to detail, capacity to manage time and meet deadlines, while also training students.

Catriona Nguyen-Robertson is a singing scientist: she sings in the laboratory and contemplates immunology experiments in the shower. She studies tuberculosis vaccine strategies and hypersensitivities to antibiotics, drugs and skincare products, and is the Associate Editor for the scientific journals Immunology and Cell Biology.

Dr Greg Bass completed his PhD in computational biology and biomedical engineering. He also did an Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute internship at CSL where he developed a mathematical model of protein trafficking in cells. He now works as a senior scientist, leading a small team in the R&D department at CSL, in the Bio21 Institute. Greg develops high-throughput analysis software to quantify images of cells and tissues, using image processing techniques such as machine learning and AI.

Fatematuz Zohora is a PhD graduate developing a sound wave monitoring tool to detect damage to pipelines in real-time and quickly address expensive leaks. Zohora is a passionate research engineer and a sessional academic at QUT. A graduate member of Engineers Australia and an Associate Fellow of Advanced Higher Education, she was one of the finalists in STARS 2018, a sessional academic teaching innovation and reflection showcase.

The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering invites you to join our Industry Mentoring Network in STEM (IMNIS) Catalysts, Dr Nick Hong Seng Lee, Dr Edith Botchway and Thilanka Morawakage as they talk STEM careers and their lives both in and beyond the lab.

Dr Nick Hong Seng Lee is a biomedical engineer working in MedTech R&D and innovation, advanced manufacturing, process development and project management. A laser development engineer at an Australian startup commercialising needle-free vaccine delivery technology, he has previously helped companies and researchers turn ideas for biomarker detection, drug delivery and biosignal sensing into viable medical products. During his PhD he developed a non-invasive microdevice for early skin cancer detection.

Dr Edith Botchway completed her PhD on understanding sleep, fatigue, depression, and quality of life outcomes in young adults who sustained traumatic brain injury in childhood. Her post-doctoral work involves studies examining rehabilitation models of care used in children and youth with traumatic injuries, and studies examining sleep and neuropsychological outcomes in children with acquired and congenital neurological conditions.

Thilanka Morawakage is a project assistant on the BRACE clinical trial at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. Her Masters thesis focused on the inhibition of a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of fibrosis. As an intern at the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson and Johnson, she provided support to the Australia and New Zealand Diversity and Inclusion Council to deliver their 2020 strategy.
