Intervjueeris Raimond-Hendrik Tunnel Meie eelmine mängujämmide lugu andis ülevaate Tartu Ülikooli mängujämmidest ning kirjeldas nende käigus loodud märkimisväärseid mänge. Seekord kõneleme samal teemal arvutiteaduse instituudi hajussüsteemide nooremlektori Jürmo Mehisega. Jürmo on osalenud mitmetel jämmidel ning olnud paljude mängujämmide õhtujuht. Vestlesime tema huvidest, teest mängundusse ning mängujämmide ja Eesti mänguarenduse tulevikust. Tean, et sa tegeled päris […]

Raimond-Hendrik Tunnel Oktoobri alguses toimus Tartu Ülikooli Delta õppe- ja teadushoones ülikooli mängujämm – University of Tartu Game Jam 2021. Üritusel osales 44 noort videomängude loomise huvilist, kes moodustasid üheksa meeskonda ja lõid sama palju uusi väikseid arvutimänge. Mängude prototüübid ehitati valmis kahe päevaga ja lähemalt saab sellest jämmist lugeda juba arvutigraafika ja virtuaalreaalsuse labori […]

The article was initially published in Ekspress by Greete Lehepuu. The app works like Google Maps: given genetic coordinates associated with a disease it finds which gene is likely to cause the disease and in which tissue. Imagine that the only way to find your way in an unknown city is to buy the map […]

By Dmytro Fishman, Junior Lecturer of Data Science The human organism is a profoundly complex mechanism, consisting of trillions of cells, each powered by about 42 million protein molecules that interact with one another in a gazillion of ways. Recently, scientists developed technologies (i.e. high-throughput screening) that enable us to listen and record data from […]

Lühidalt: ITTM kestab nüüd kaks semestrist (ehk ühe aasta) Neli tudengit on hetkel praktikal Pipedrive-s, üks Eesti Energias, üks Reach-U-s ITTM-i tootmissektorile suunatud pilootprogramm jätkub koostöös Columbus Eesti ja Barrusega Osalevate tudengite jaoks on endiselt suurim motivaator saada praktilist kogemust ettevõtetes Järgmise aasta programmi saab praktikapositsioone esitama hakata talvel Sul pole õrna aimu, mis on […]

Õppekava „IT mitteinformaatikutele“ on üks Tartu Ülikooli populaarsemaid programme, mis annab kõrgharidusega spetsialistidele ja juhtidele vajalikud teadmised ning oskused digipöörde juhtimiseks ja lahenduste arendamiseks. Järgnevas blogipostituses tutvustab õppekava programmijuht kaasprofessor Kuldar Taveter kuut põhjust, miks tulla õppima. Esimese ja kõige olulisema põhjusena tooksin välja, et kuna õppekava on suunatud erinevate valdkondade ekspertidele, kellest enamikul on […]

On June 28, Dmytro Fishman defended his PhD thesis on “Developing a data analysis pipeline for automated protein profiling in immunology”. In this work, Dmytro and his collaborators explored the dynamics of autoimmune diseases as well as developed a software tool that simplifies similar research in the future. Proteins are essential elements of all living […]

On June 21, Liis Kolberg defended her PhD thesis on “Developing and applying bioinformatics tools for gene expression data interpretation” which provides convenient tools that simplify the work of biologists and saves their time.  Modern technologies enable researchers to simultaneously measure the expression levels of all genes under different conditions and in different groups of […]

Estonia does not have many natural minerals or a significant population like many wealthy countries, but it has the most unicorns per capita globally. As most unicorns use technology to offer solutions for solving problems, we need more IT practitioners who can use computation power to solve various algorithmic issues.  “Thinking computationally is not anymore […]

While human average life expectancy has surged in the past century, a growing concern is a rising disease burden in the later stages of life. It is well known that lifestyle choices can help to prevent or delay disease onset, but once the disease has manifested, medical treatment (such as in the form of drugs) […]

We are glad to announce that the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has recognized Prof. Jaak Vilo as their Senior Member being the first researcher from Estonia who has received this prestigious title. ACM is the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society, which every year awards its members, who for years have demonstrated performance […]

Juba bakalaureuseõppesse astudes ma teadsin, et magistriõpe on minu jaoks järgmine loogiline samm. Kuigi ma olin saanud põhjaliku interdistsiplinaarse kogemuse nii praktilisel kui ka teoreetilisel tasandil, siis ma ei tundnud, et mu õppimistee oleks olnud täielik, kui ma ei jätkaks seda magistris. Lühidalt öeldes ma leidsin, et kolme aastaga, mis kulus mul bakalaureusekraadi omandamiseks, ei […]
