Research on medical imaging and video analysis
Dr Ahmed was invited to visit BINUS University, Indonesia, between 21st -26th November 2018, to deliver Invited Talk (to staff) and Guest Lectures (to students).
Large numbers turned up and the feedback was pleasing.
The visit also included an Invited Talk and research collaboration discussion meetings.
More details (need translation 🙂 ) can be found at the blog of the school of Computer Science, BINUS.
Today, as part of our CS Week, we took a group of Computer Science students (mix of Y3, Y2 and Y1) on a field trip to “AirAsia HQ“ (also known as “RedQ“). They had a tour around the amazing working space, enjoyed the slides (2-story height) and met with key staff; Head of SW Engineering and Head of Data Science.
It has been a useful as well as enjoyable trip, and hopefully fruitful.
Tea and Refreshments were served and group photos captured before departing.
Thanks to the good hospitality from “AirAsia” staff, and for the organizing members from the university.
