But what about yourself and your own journey in navigating a PhD? Kate Y axley will share her lessons learned during her PhD research with Sky Shep herds\, including the importance of leading yourself and fostering your ow n welfare.\n\nSpeaker: Kate Yaxley\, Squadron Leader\, Sir Richard William s Scholar at Royal Australian Air Force\n\nBio: Kate Yaxley has been recog nised for her pioneering work in artificial intelligence as a finalist in the prestigious Women in AI awards 2021 for Australia and New Zealand. Kat e is a Visiting Military Fellow at the School of Engineering and Informati on Technology at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Canberra\, Austr alia. She received her bachelor and masters qualifications in electrical e ngineering from UNSW (2011) and the US Air Force Institute of Technology ( 2015). Kate commenced her doctorate with UNSW in 2018 with a focus on swar m systems\, human-autonomy teaming\, and artificial intelligence design ph ilosophy. Currently\, Kate is completing her PhD in artificial intelligenc e and is the 2021 Sir Richard Williams Scholar. Her research focuses on us ing an unmanned aerial vehicle to shepherd sheep and could be applied to a defence setting in areas such as network traffic response to an adversary \, UAS swarm movement when enacting a commander's intent and humanitarian support when moving civilians. As a member of the ADF's community of pract ice to expand test and valuation methodology to introduce artificial intel ligence and Ai-enabled autonomous systems\, she has also been developing m etrics for measuring cognitive competence. She regularly lectures and ment ors students at UNSW Canberra and is looking forward to integrating her kn owledge in an Ai-enabled Defence future.\n\nAll welcome\n\nOn behalf of Dr . Lily Qiao <l.qiao@adfa.edu.au>\n\nThis is the first episode of a new ser ies of seminars organised by IEEE ACT WIE Affinity Group. In each episode\ , a local female academic or researcher is invited to share her own career stories and feelings. We believe their stories will inspire\, motivate\, and help you break barriers\, set and achieve goals. We hope our IEEE ACT members\, especially female student members\, could join us and have a rea l-life discussion for thought.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/ m/269734 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/269734 ORGANIZER:l.qiao@adfa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 SUMMARY:Shepherding Your Own PhD URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/269734 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<div style="margin: 15px\;">\ n<p><strong>IEEE </strong><strong>ACT WIE Affinity Group </strong><strong> Seminar</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>Shepherding is about n ot only leading others but fostering the welfare of those you lead.
