Monash University scientists recognized for research into Data
Analytics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and
Information Visualization
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that Paul
Bonnington and Kimbal Marriott have received an Agilent Thought
Leader Award in support of their innovative research into Data
Analytics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and
Information Visualization.
Bonnington and Marriott are professors at Monash University,
based in Melbourne, Australia. The award includes funding and
cutting-edge instrumentation from Agilent that will facilitate
accelerated and transformational research that incorporates
intelligence gleaned from Monash University’s vast knowledge and
experience in the areas of Data Analytics, Machine Learning,
Artificial Intelligence, and Information Visualization. The
expectation is the development of new, innovative, and smarter
analytical products which will empower scientists to better
understand their own processes and business, and ensure their
laboratories are operating at maximum efficiency, as well as
support mechanisms that will significantly reduce customer
downtime.
“There are exciting new discoveries awaiting us when we bring
advanced scientific instrumentation together with the advanced data
processing capabilities of the Faculty of IT and the eResearch
Centre,” stated Professor Paul Bonnington, Director eResearch
Centre, Monash University.
“The recent great advances in Artificial Intelligence, Data
Science and Human-Computer Interaction allow us to reimagine the
scientific research lab. For the first time we can build a lab that
puts the scientists first, not the scientific instruments,” stated
Professor Kim Marriott, Director Computer-Human Interaction and
Creativity Group, Faculty of IT, Monash University.
“Our customers are always looking for ways to enhance
efficiencies in their labs,” said Phil Binns, vice president, and
general manager of Agilent's Spectroscopy Division. “This
partnership between Agilent and Monash will undoubtedly have a
positive impact on the design, development, performance, and
management of Agilent products, differentiating both our
instruments and our services.”
“It’s a thrill to have Agilent identify the value and quality of
the research and development happening here at Monash
University. We are delighted that the commitments we have made to
put in place the world-class research infrastructure necessary to
support our leading researchers and their collaborating
partners, is having a genuine global impact,” stated Professor Ian
Smith, Vice-Provost (Research & Research Infrastructure) Monash
University.
“Understanding that the design of new analytical platforms is
heavily influenced by the patterns of use and operation of current
platforms. Collecting this smart data on those patterns will
benefit both the designers of Agilent instruments and their users,”
Phil Binns added.
Monash University is a global leader in these fields, and
renowned as having one of the world’s strongest academic data
science teams. The university has an excellent track record of
collaborative work with business, leveraging the skills,
experience, and expertise of its faculty towards research and
innovative design solutions that match the requirements of today’s
advanced laboratories. This award represents a significant step
forward in the long history of successful research collaboration
between Monash University and Agilent.
The Agilent Thought Leader Program promotes fundamental
scientific advances by contributing financial support, products,
and expertise to the research of influential thought leaders in the
life sciences, diagnostics, and chemical analysis space. Further
