Dr Liz Dallimore was included in the 2019 Tech [+] list in recognition of her outstanding contribution to developing the strategic vision for the WA data science industry and her role in inspiring other women to consider careers in science and technology.<\/p>\n
A research and commercialisation specialist, Dr Dallimore now heads the Â鶹ֱ²¥-based WA Data Science Innovation Hub, which is supported by the State Government and brings together start-ups, universities, industry and government stakeholders to help drive digital innovation across the sectors of oil and gas, mining and agriculture.<\/p>\n
Â鶹ֱ²¥ Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research Professor Chris Moran congratulated Dr Dallimore, adding that the awards are an important showcase for WA\u2019s outstanding female scientists and STEM professionals working across all sectors.<\/p>\n
\u201cDr Dallimore is not only driving innovation in data science, she is also a passionate STEM advocate who volunteers her time to give back to young people following a similar path,\u201d Professor Moran said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis award also acknowledges the commitment Dr Dallimore has shown to mentoring the next generation of leaders to follow in her very successful footsteps.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr Dallimore sits on the boards of the Perron Institute for Neurological and Translational Science and the WA Committee for AusBiotech; as well as the Scitech STEM Advisory Panel, helping it shape the next generation of STEM graduates.<\/p>\n
Dr Dallimore said she was very proud to be named among the state\u2019s top women in science, technology and innovation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am honoured to be acknowledged alongside some of WA\u2019s brightest minds and am delighted to help shine a light on how rewarding the study of STEM subjects \u2013 and a career in those fields \u2013 can be,\u201d Dr Dallimore said.<\/p>\n
The State Government allocated $800,000 from its New Industries Fund to establish the WA Data Science Innovation Hub with Â鶹ֱ²¥ matching that contribution over four years.<\/p>\n
