Partnering with Nokia Bell Labs to support diversity in postgraduate studies
Nokia Bell Labs scholarships were awarded to women pursuing postgraduate studies in the School of Electrical Engineering and in the School of Science.
The Nokia Bell Labs donation funds the Aalto University scholarship programme. The application for the scholarships closed at the end of September and the scholarship recipients have now been selected by both schools. The scholarship recipients have been selected on the basis of academic merit through a competitive application process.
Nokia Bell Labs has donated eight 2000 euro scholarships for women who have done well in their studies at Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering and the School of Science. Awarded women are:
Wireless communication:
Safaei Jazi, Shadi
Haapalinna, Katri
Information security:
Moustafa, Mariam
Ma, Rongjun
Artificial intelligence and machine learning:
Julkunen, Heli
El Bouharrouti, Nada
Networking:
Ranjbaran, Sara
Zhang, Tingting
‘Aalto University's core values are equality, diversity and inclusiveness, which support the well-being of our community, creativity and the ability to promote world-class research, teaching and impact. The donation was directed to support the studies of female doctoral students, who are clearly under-represented in the technical field’, Jussi Ryynänen, Dean of the School of Electrical Engineering at Aalto University says.
‘As Nokia’s award-winning industrial research lab, we recognize the responsibility we have in supporting and collaborating with diverse and talented people who will become the next wave of inventors and creators. Nokia Bell Labs is thrilled to have this partnership with Aalto University to encourage a diverse set of perspectives and ideas that address the various challenges we face to transform how we live, work and communicate’, said Dr. Thierry E Klein, President, Bell Labs Solutions Research at Nokia.
Congratulations to all the scholarship winners!

I interviewed two Aalto University instructors who have used glossaries created by students as coursework in a subject course and a field-specific language course. The assignments are based on active learning methods: the glossaries are not created by the instructor, but by the learners themselves. The interview focused, among other things, on the teaching philosophy behind developing the glossary tasks, how the learning of field-specific vocabulary can be linked to the overall learning objectives of the course, and what technical solutions enable students’ active learning in glossary assignments.
