Student Profiles

DARA Big Data postgraduate students study the application of data science in various areas at several UK universities (Manchester, Leeds, York, Herts and Sussex).

 

They come from the 8 countries across the African VLBI network (AVN) and each one of them has a different story to tell. They have all worked exceptionally hard to get to where they are today and have big plans for their futures.
