Transitioning to geoscience applications in 2006, she established the Centre for Data-driven Geoscience at UWA, leading multi-disciplinary projects focused on end-user needs. Key collaborations included data fusion initiatives with Rio Tinto Iron Ore and the Blasthole Objective Logging Project, yielding deployable machine learning methods for stratigraphy and material analysis from drill hole data, along with three patent applications. Holden served as Inaugural Director of the UWA Data Institute from 2021 to 2022 and currently holds an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow position in UWA's School of Earth and Oceans.
Holden's research centers on geodata science, artificial intelligence, industrial AI applications, data fusion, and knowledge engineering, with a focus on innovative, trustworthy AI solutions for the resource industry. Her work has garnered over 3,100 citations according to Google Scholar. Notable publications include 'Implicit neural representation for potential field geophysics' (2025), 'Paired Hierarchical VAEs for Image-to-Image Translation and Cross Reconstruction' (2026), 'Automated geological logging from FTIR reflectance spectra utilising geochemical and historical logging constraints' (2024), and 'Anomaly detection in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of geological specimens using variational autoencoders' (2023). She has received the Artificial Intelligence in Mining category of the Women in AI Awards Australia and New Zealand (2022), Women in Technology WA Tech [20+] Awards (2019), UWA Vice-Chancellor's Award in Impact and Innovation (2015), and Laric Hawkins Memorial Innovation Award (2013).
