As a young leader of an emerging team in an emerging field, Michelle will also discuss the present challenges and opportunities.

Michelle will also discuss some recent projects undertaken by Arup Informatics, including Walsh Bay Schematic Vision, Tonsley Park Strategic Design, and ’Social Fireflies’, an installation of 50 animated and programmed light-emitting robots for the Vivid Sydney Festival 2011.
