This week, the annual Faculty of Applied Sciences (FAS) heat Three Minute Thesis (3MT) 2023 was held virtually with a total of thirteen graduate student presenters from all four schools: computing science, engineering science, mechatronics systems engineering and sustainable energy engineering. The initial plan was to hold the competition in-person. Due to snow, presenters, judges and organizers quickly adapted as the event transitioned to a virtual one.

This year, engineering science PhD student Bardia Azizian, participated in the FAS 3MT event and gave a presentation titled, "Privacy-Preserving Visual Coding for Machines."
