Free Public Lecture: Big Ideas Big Data = Real Life Benefits

The Australian Synchrotron enables the rapid translation of ideas, greatly empowering Australian and New Zealand researchers with highly-detailed data sets faster than a conventional laboratory.

This free lecture will open your eyes to supercomputing - what is a synchrotron and how do our experts translate its torrents of data into improvements in the way we work, eat and live?



Gain insight into this landmark research facility and learn how supercomputing is enabling researchers to produce, analyse and interpret phenomenal amounts of data to innovate and solve problems. The real life applications include new treatments for disease including cancer and Alzheimer's disease, to supporting more environmentally friendly approaches to mining and helping farmers grow more sustainable crops.

Hear from experts Professor Andrew Peele (Director) and Dr Andreas Moll (Senior Scientific Software Engineer) who will explain how the Australian Synchrotron supports big research ideas to generate real life benefits.

Register online to attend this free public lecture, on Thursday 27 October, 5:30-7:30 at McCusker Auditorium, Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.
