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 […]

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. […]

Introduction: Privacy-preserving computation is a crucial discipline that protects the privacy of confidential data while facilitating secure analysis. In graph problems, secure multiparty computation (SMC) presents a promising approach to performing these functionalities. This article delves into the notable advancements in privacy-preserving parallel algorithms recently introduced in a Ph.D. thesis. By integrating graph algorithms with […]

Alguses võib IT-tööstusmagistrantuur tunduda nagu võõras asi, kuid paljud UT tudengid on selle edukalt ning õnnelikult läbinud! Järgnevalt saad lugeda kahe tudengi – Lukase (inglise keeles) ning Artjomi (eesti keeles) – kogemustest ITTM-is. Lukas (ENG) Lukas is a second year Computer Science master’s student. He applied to Reach-U as part of the Industrial Master’s Programme […]

Kui tahad näha, kuidas sinu õppetööst on kohene ja reaalne kasu, siis kaalu läbida IT-tööstusmagistratuur Raitwoodis. Raitwood toodab ja turustab põhjamaisest okaspuust ehitus- ja viimistluspuitu. Nende Tartumaa täisautomaatne tootmiskompleks on Euroopa üks moodsamaid ning sealt ekspordivad nad oma toodangut enam kui 40 riiki Euroopas, Aasias, Austraalias ning Ameerikas. Oleks ju lahe magistritöös tõdeda, et tänu […]

Reach-U on ettevõte, mis tegeleb tarkvaraarenduse ja andmeteadusega koostöös klientidega üle maailma. Reach-U on IT-tööstusmagistrantuuri veteran, kes on programmi partnerettevõte olnud selle algusest peale. Oma kogemusest programmis räägib Reach-U tegevjuht Teet Jagomägi. Mida tuleb teha ühel ettevõttel, et programmis osaleda? Kui ma õigesti mäletan, siis osalemiseks tuleb kandideerida. Kõige olulisem on aga hea välja näha, […]

Jaak Vilo, Kallol Roy Algorithmics (MTAT.03.238) is an obligatory course in the Computer Science MSc curriculum. As such it is intended to remind everyone of the foundations of algorithms and data structures but also to go beyond and teach some more advanced concepts (like succinct data structures, for example).  The course aims at linking different […]

Eesti Energia on Eesti ainus energeetikahiid. Ta osaleb IT-tööstusmagistrantuuris juba kolmandat korda — oma kogemusi jagab meiega Eesti Energia tehnoloogiaskaut Kristjan Eljand. Miks osaleb Eesti Energia IT-tööstusmagistrantuuri programmis? Ühelt poolt soovime natukene kaasa aidata sellele, et tudengid saaksid praktilise kogemuse andmeteadusega, aga teisipidi on see selgelt meile endale ka kasu toov projekt. Kui meie enda […]

On the 13th of December Lidia Feklistova defended her PhD thesis on „Learners of an introductory programming MOOC: background variables, engagement patterns and performance” We constantly improve our knowledge and skills to be successful. Participation in massive open online courses (MOOCs) supports ongoing professional development and lifelong learning. Keeping in mind the huge number of participants in […]

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, […]

On the 30th of September, Mubashar Iqbal defended his PhD. thesis on “Reference Framework for Managing Security Risks Using Blockchain” which addresses the problem of traditional applications’ security risk management (SRM) using blockchain as a countermeasure solution and the SRM of blockchain-based applications. In the digital realm, software security has the utmost importance in making […]
