Dr Dylan Irvine is a groundwater scientist with the Faculty of Science and Technology and the Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods at Charles Darwin University.
The seminar ‘So, you want to use AI to assist your research? A discussion on what works and what doesn’t’ will provide a discussion on artificial intelligence (AI) in academic research, designed to explore practical AI applications and debunk common misconceptions. It will showcase real-world examples where AI is helpful, and rabbit holes that are best to avoid. The goal is to be highly interactive, with the audience welcome to ask questions and to share their experiences with AI in their research.
Whether you are AI-savvy or are just starting out in this field, this seminar offers a valuable opportunity to learn, share, and connect with peers navigating the AI landscape in academia – note that this text, for example, was shamelessly created using ChatGPT, with edits.
Dylan co-leads the Top End Hydrology Lab and his research includes surface water-groundwater interactions, use of hydrological tracers and numerical modelling. His recent research interests include data analyses using Python, and projected impacts of climate change, among others.
To help guide the discussion, please bring along questions or examples on how you’re using AI.

Fish farms have historically been a black box in terms of understanding the behavioural needs and preferences of the fish within them, as the only chance to assess what they are up to is when they break the surface. Sunil has been monitoring fish behaviour below the surface of farms for 35 years.
