For Sarah Bradley, the focus on software engineering, AI, data science and statistics during her undergraduate studies at the University of Sydney opened doors she didn’t know existed.

Today, Sarah, Director of Data Science and AI at Nasdaq, develops tools that monitor the behaviour of financial markets in real time. Working closely with a team of experts, Sarah leads the AI and machine learning function of the Nasdaq Market Surveillance system which identifies market manipulation and insider trading.

Beyond her role at Nasdaq, Sarah wears many hats: from a VOGUE Codes speaker, to a board director at Tech Futures Australia where she’s working to develop a national AI literacy program for students K-12.

Sarah’s undergraduate studies pushed her in ways that took her out of her comfort zone, empowering her to do things she wouldn’t have thought possible.

What are the hidden connections that build climate resilience? These are the questions environmental social scientist and Associate Professor Michele Barnes seeks to explore in her research.

Join her at our Raising the Bar talk, where she’ll discuss how, when disaster strikes, resilience often comes down to our connections with people and the natural world, rather than emergency plans.

Event details:
📆 Thursday 7 May, 8 - 8:45pm (AEST)
📍 Bank Hotel, 324 King St, Newtown NSW 2042

Michele’s research focuses on how patterns of connection between people, organisations, and ecosystems shape our ability to respond to climate change. Working with coastal and resource-dependent communities across Australia and internationally, she maps how information and resources flow through social and ecological networks, and why some people are positioned to adapt while others are left exposed. Her research makes a compelling case that the most powerful climate adaptation strategy might be something much simpler than we think: building the right connections.

Pull up a stool, order a drink, and let a University of Sydney researcher change the way you see the world, all for free.
