Who should attend

Are you an Australian-based PhD candidate, or planning to commence a PhD in Australia? Is your research data oriented? Are you aiming to address any of the following challenges? 

  • Low data quality, i.e., how to handle issues like missing entries, false information, lack of samples, class imbalance?  

  • Limited insights obtained from data, i.e., how can we maximize the value of “big data” with advanced techniques?  

  • Unknown reliability and trustworthiness of data analysis tools, i.e., is the automated decision process transparent and interpretable?  

  • Anything that hinders resilient application of your research, e.g., ethics, privacy, cyber security, generalisability, efficiency, adoption etc.  

If yes, then the Information Resilience PhD School is the right place for you!
