Her master鈥檚 programme has given her a strong skillset in statistics and machine learning, and her great results have also earned her a UC Dean鈥檚 Award. Sumathi gives back to the community as a tutor for the first-year engineering mathematics course EMTH118.
"It is the best," she says. "I enjoy every bit of my course. It is amazing learning every day. The Mathematics and Statistics Department and our HOD, Jennifer brown, are the best professors who are there to help subject-wise as well as for personal development. I would like to thank all of them who are great inspiration and motivating."
The opportunity to complete an internship in industry was the perfect way for her to gain training working with real-world data. Sumathi interned for a regional community group with over 10,000 members, where she worked with their Communications Team on their Facebook data to analyse their social media outreach and audience.
"The experience was very good. I was able to learn technically as well as learn the New 九州影院culture. It is a great platform for me and I will always thank James Williams and Jennifer Brown for giving such a great opportunity by believing in me."
Now completed her studies, Sumathi has ongoing work with the community group, and is building an automated system which will provide statistics on their cultural and social developments and improve their outreach.
