Keynote speaker: Dr Andreas Fouras, CEO of 4DMedical

4DMedical was incorporated in 2012 to acquire the imaging platform XV Technology from Monash University, where it was originally conceived and developed by Andreas and his former research group.

4DMedical aims to change the outcome for patients with lung disease by revolutionising respiratory and ventilation analysis using this technology, which is the first FDA approved respiratory imaging system using algorithms to convert x-ray image sequences into four-dimensional data to enhance clinical management.

In May 2020, 4DMedical obtained FDA approval for its XV technology and in August 2020 completed an initial public offering (IPO) on the ASX, raising $56 million. The global market for respiratory diagnostics is currently estimated to exceed $US30 billion per annum.

After completing his PhD in engineering, Andreas rose to the position of Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Director of the Laboratory for Dynamic Imaging at Monash University. Andreas is now the founding CEO of 4DMedical, based in Melbourne and Los Angeles.

Keynote speaker: Kylie Walker, CEO of ATSE

Kylie is the CEO of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE), where she works with expert Fellows to lead crucial national conversations and strategy towards a thriving, healthy and connected Australia supported by technology.

Kylie specialises in connecting technologists, engineers and scientists with governments, business, media and society – skills built over many years in senior federal communication and advocacy roles in the science, technology and health sectors.

As the immediate past CEO of Science & Technology Australia, Kylie led campaigns to increase investment in Australian research and development, and created the acclaimed Superstars of STEM program, championing Australian women in science technology, engineering and mathematics.

Kylie is also a visiting Fellow at the Australian Centre for the Public Awareness of Science. She was Chair of the Australian National Commission for UNESCO and in 2019, she was named in the 100 Women of Influence list by the Australian Financial Review for her work on improving equity, diversity and inclusion in STEM.
