Ruth Luscombe

Dr Ruth Luscombe is a mathematician and data scientist working on early bushfire detection. She has nearly 20 years of experience in project management, machine learning, programming, and solution development across the health, education, and private sectors. Her current work on bushfire detection uses AI to combine real-time data from satellite and ground sensors to detect fires within minutes of ignition. The Fireball solution uses cloud-based technologies to transform high volumes of sensor data into a digital map of fire incidents.
