Two of Solent's MSc Applied Artificial Intelligence and Data Science students were accepted to present research posters at the prestigious BCS Women Lovelace Colloquium on 16 April.
Two Solent students, Olubunmi Adenuga and Deborah Adedigba, submitted abstracts and were shortlisted to present their posters at this prestigious event, which received around 200 submissions. This alone is a remarkable accomplishment, highlighting their dedication and the quality of their work.
The event was held at the University of Glasgow and students had to present their posters to judges and then answer questions about their research.
The research topics were:
Deborah: 'Automated skin lesion analysis for early melanoma detection: A computer vision approach.'
Olubunmi: 'Prediction of pregnancy complications'
The students were supervised by Dr Raza Hasan and Dr Bacha Rehman, and Dr Jarutas Andritsch assisted with the abstract and poster.
Deborah (pictured above) won second place in the MSc Poster Category at the event and says. "I thank God for this achievement and am honoured to have won second place. I'm grateful to my supervisor Dr Raza Hasan, my tutor Dr Jarutas Andritsch, and Southampton Solent University for their support for my learning journey in healthcare technology that can make a meaningful difference.'
Such achievements not only reflect the individual brilliance of our students but also underscore the strength and excellence of our course and university. It demonstrates our commitment to nurturing talent and encouraging students to push boundaries, especially in STEM fields where diversity and inclusion are crucial.
Jarutas Andritsch, Lecturer in Computing and supervisor of the student's projects, says, “reflecting on the recent achievements of our students at the BCS Women Lovelace Colloquium fills me with immense pride and joy. This annual conference, dedicated to women and non-binary students in Computing and related subjects, provides a unique platform for showcasing innovative research and fostering a supportive community.
I am incredibly proud of our students for their perseverance and success. Their accomplishments inspire us all to strive for excellence and seize every opportunity to grow and challenge ourselves. This milestone is a reminder that with dedication and support, we can achieve great things and make significant contributions to the world of computing."
Sarah Radif, Head of Science and Engineering, says, "this is a testimony of our students’ ability to compete at the highest level and of course the excellent teaching they receive at Solent. Congratulations to the students on the fantastic accomplishment and thank you to the staff for providing the mentorship and guidance that have enabled this achievement."
Congratulations to our students for their outstanding achievements. Let this be a stepping stone to even greater successes in the future.
