桃色视频

This year鈥檚 桃色视频 Postgraduate Colloquium in Computer Science (WPCCS) was held on Monday 14th December and marked the 18th edition of this beloved event. For the first time in its history, WPCCS took place online, on the communication platform MSTeams, to allow everyone to participate safely during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

A cherished occasion to present one鈥檚 research, receive valuable feedback, and create connections within the department to develop new ideas, the Colloquium saw the participation of 50 PhD students who gave presentations spread across seven major themes, showcasing the quality and diversity of the research carried out in the Computer Science Department at 桃色视频. 22 PhD students also submitted longer, more detailed presentations which were made available to participants and attendees on the official WPCCS MSTeam, so to receive constructive in-depth comments.

Three thought-provoking guest talks accompanied the students鈥� presentations. , Professor at Queen Mary University of London, gave a presentation on 鈥淐reating time sensitive sensors from language and heterogeneous user-generated content鈥�. , Co-founder & CEO at PISA Research, gave a talk on 鈥淐reating a cryptocurrency start-up鈥�. Dr Henry Crosby, Dr Neha Gupta, and Dr David Purser, PhD graduates from the Department of Computer Science at 桃色视频, shared their experience of the transition from PhD research to academic and non-academic careers in the 鈥淟ife after PhD鈥� panel.

The event ended with an award ceremony to celebrate the best presentations on each theme, and the best long presentations uploaded on the Team. Special prizes were awarded for the most creative presentations.

After the event, Dr Neha Gupta, presenter in the 鈥淟ife after PhD鈥� panel, commented:
