Jas and Rashi are back in the studio with an incredibly exciting episode! Today we delve into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the amazing Leah Martínez. Leah is the Co-founder at Sonorus, a healthcare technology start up, focused on cardiac monitoring and AI diagnosis. She also shares with us her experience as the Law and Ethics Manager at Monash DeepNeuron, integrating ethics with engineering technical projects. We discuss AI and its most simple level, how it is currently evolving and how it will revolutionise our future.

This episode we are fortunate enough to have Dr Trina Majumdar join us for an interview. Having completed a PhD in Materials Engineering and Biomedical Science, Trina takes us through her career pathway at Monash University. We delve into how to carve your own path in engineering and what lead her and colleague Dr. Katherine Grigoriou to establish the New Girls Club at Monash University. This episode is not one to miss.

Jas and Rashi explore what life is like working for the Mercedes Formula 1 team. Nick Grossi takes us through his experiences from his internship year in the UK, working at the most competitive motorsports level.

How do you balance your uni work, part-time job and social life? How do you choose your engineering specialisation? How do you maintain motivation? These questions and so many more are answered by our three 2023 MESS First Year Representatives. Rashi and Jasmine are back in the studio for the first episode of 2024 and this is not one to miss out on.

Deputy Director of Monash Energy Institute and Senior Lecturer in the Monash University Civil Engineering Department, Roger Dargaville shares his expertise on Australia's transition to renewable energy. We discuss the National Energy Market and why Australia is in dire need of more engineers within the Energy Sector, in order to reach our net zero targets by the year 2050.

Welcome to another MessyTalks episode! This episode discusses the conventions and stereotypes that gender can impose on individuals and by extension how this can influence and restrict the way that one lives out their daily life. We discuss how gender can affect the choices we make and permeate to our mental and physical health. Overall, the topic of gender is linked back to engineering through the importance of having mixed teams in engineering and how a well-balanced team produces successful and well-rounded outcomes.
