  • We invited our graduate student Müjde Aktaş for the Seminar: “Marie Curie Intelligent Ultrasound: Pattern Recognition of the Heart Disease Characteristics”. She received the BS degree in Computer Engineering at Istanbul Bilgi University and the MS degree also in Computer Engineering from Boğaziçi University. As a PhD student, she is working for the project MARCIUS (Marie Curie Intelligent Ultrasound) that is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. Today, she disseminated her work and experiences as an early-stage researcher as part of the Innovative Training Network. She introduced the MARCIUS project and then narrowed the talk down to my individual research in this project, which focuses on developing custom machine learning pipelines to interpret the echocardiographic examinations of patients with heart diseases. Congratulations for the great effort and thanks for the nice presentation!
