Ms Marina Chan was the People’s Choice Award winner of James Cook University in Singapore's 2026 Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. Her presentation 'It's Never That Simple: Unravelling the Complexity Behind Fish Parasite Surveillance’ highlighted that while parasite surveillance begins with a simple question about what parasites are present, characterising ectoparasites of marine farmed fish is far from simple. By navigating the challenges of parasite identification and monitoring, her research aims to build the foundation for improved disease surveillance and more informed parasite management in aquaculture.#JCUSingapore #ThreeMinuteThesis #3MT #researchConnect with James Cook University, Singapore: Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jcu.singapore.fanpage/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jcu_singapore Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jcusingapore Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jcusingapore And for more news and information, visit https://www.jcu.edu.sg

Modern infrastructure systems are increasingly complex, interconnected, and exposed to disruption. This highlights the growing need for infrastructure systems that are not only efficient but also resilient. This presentation explores how data can be transformed into actionable decisions to enhance system performance and resilience. Drawing on recent research, Dr Lijuan Shen demonstrates how system behaviour and disruptions can be better understood, anticipated, and managed. Through real-world examples, the session illustrates how data-driven approaches support earlier intervention, effective planning, faster recovery, and adaptive responses under uncertainty, enabling organisations to move from reactive operations to proactive and resilient decision-making.
