Risto Hinno on hea näide sellest, kuidas karjäär võib võtta põneva pöörde. Varasemalt digiteenuste tellijana töötanud Risto otsustas süvendada oma teadmisi IT-valdkonnas ning asus õppima Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi magistriõppekaval „IT mitteinformaatikutele“ . Õpingute käigus avanes talle arenduse ja andmeteaduse maailm sedavõrd kaasahaaravalt, et see viis ta lõpuks ka idufirmasse tööle. Oma kogemusloos jagab ta ausalt teekonda […]

Toomas Gross on suure ja mitmekülgse akadeemilise kogemusega antropoloog, kes on töötanud aastaid õppejõu ja teadlasena. Oma töös jõudis ta arusaamani, et nüüdisaegne teadus ja õppetöö eeldavad üha enam ka tehnoloogilist ning andmeteaduslikku kirjaoskust. Soov end proovile panna ja intellektuaalsest mugavustsoonist väljuda viis ta Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi magistriõppekava „IT mitteinformaatikutele“ alusel õppima. Kogemusloos kirjeldab […]

Kaspar Kala läbis Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi magistriõppekava „IT mitteinformaatikutele“. Varem on ta õppinud õigusteadust nii Eestis kui ka Hollandis ning praegu töötab projektijuhi, analüütiku ja majasisese juristina. Kaspar on justkui sild kahe valdkonna, IT ja õiguse vahel. Loe Kaspari kogemuslugu informaatika õppimisest. Enne informaatikaõppesse kandideerimist määratlesin end eelkõige juristina. Lõpetanud õigusteaduse bakalaureuseõpingud Tartu Ülikoolis ja […]

Kaur Alasoo, Associate Professor of Bioinformatics at the Institute of Computer Science, University of Tartu, has combined computer science and molecular biology in his research to find new ways of predicting the effects of genetic variants and to better understand rare diseases. He was interviewed by Professor Jaak Vilo, Head of the Chair of Data […]

Djeane Debora Onthoni has joined the Health Data and AI research group at the University of Tartu’s Institute of Computer Science, bringing international expertise in applying AI to health data analysis and precision medicine. He was interviewed by professor Jaak Vilo, Head of the Chair of Data Science. You recently came to Estonia to the […]

You can find out more about Abasi-Amefon Obot Affia’s PhD thesis here.  In the dynamic world of the Internet of Things (IoT), ensuring robust security is paramount. As IoT systems become increasingly integrated into various sectors, the complexity of managing security risks escalates. Recognising this challenge, the IoT Architecture-based Security Risk Management (IoTA-SRM) framework has been introduced, […]

Imagine a room with millions of mysterious switches and hundreds of ceiling lamps. You don’t know which switch does what, but you’re curious. As you experiment with different combinations, the lamps’ brightness varies. This scene is a simple metaphor for the complex challenge of genomics research – understanding how different genetic ‘switches’ affect our health. […]

Building healthy relationships and meaningful interactions with those around us is essential for social well-being. These interactions with our friends, family, and colleagues might occur in person, over mobile phones, or through social media platforms like Facebook or WhatsApp. The purpose of this article is to comprehend social well-being using mobile phones. This is conceivable […]

On the 9th of December Jakob Mass defended his PhD thesis on „Process management for Internet of mobile things“. The Internet of Things (IoT) promotes solutions such as a smart city, where everyday objects connect with info systems and each other. One example is a road condition monitoring system, where connected vehicles, such as buses, […]

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 […]

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 […]
