Humble Brag

By Sharon C Betts, on 7 February 2022

The start of this year has been incredibly fruitful for some of our students who have won awards and had papers accepted for conferences. We are incredibly proud of them all and happy to provide a humble brag of their achievements.

 

Jakob Zeitler wins UCL Grand Challenges Doctoral Students’ small grant

Jakob Zeitler (Cohort 1) was awarded a UCL Grand Challenges Doctoral Students’ small grant award for his project ‘Developing a New Approach to Teaching AI and Society’ alongside of Jaspreet Jagdev. Jakob has been very involved in looking at AI and ethics since the start of his research at UCL and has been integral in setting up speakers and reading groups around the subject of AI and Society.
