This meetup is in partnership with the Auckland AI and Machine Learning Engineering Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/Auckland-AI-Meetup/).

Sinead is an aerospace engineer and an Entrepreneurship Fellow at the Harvard Business School, with previous experience at NASA, the European Space Agency and the UK Space Agency.

At Fusion Space Technologies, Sinead leads a team of engineers to integrate data from satellites and drones. By combining space technology with Artificial Intelligence, her company is challenging the status quo of humanitarian disaster relief.

Sinead was appointed both a Sainsbury Management Fellow by the Royal Academy of Engineering and an Emerging Space Leader by the International Astronautical Federation in 2016. She also currently co-leads the Space Generation Advisory Council’s international research group “Space Technologies for Disaster Management” as well as advising the US Center for Climate and Security on satellite technologies that can mitigate against climate change risks.

"Fusion Space Technologies is using the quintillion bytes of data that is produced globally every day to create live and ultra-high resolution maps. Using machine learning, we are creating the next generation of analytics to help us monitor the world we live in, in more dimensions and faster than ever before."

The exact specifics of what Sinead will cover in her talk aren't nailed down, although she has been requested to cover the machine learning angle of Fusion Space Technologies' work. Regardless, this will not be one to miss!
