Van Linh Nguyen has joined the honours programme in computer science

Students admitted to the honours programme are associated to one of the Department of Computer Science research groups, and have the opportunity for part-time employment during semesters in research-related work.

In summer the students have the possibility of entering into full-time employment in the department's summer internship programme. Majority of the honours programme students are specialized in the machine learning, data mining and probabilistic modelling research area.

Analyzing the causes of inflammatory bowel disease

Van Linh Nguyen is part of professor Juho Rousu’s research group for the second year and his research explores data from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.

"I have been working with some very nice and helpful researchers, such as the Doctoral student Viivi Uurtio, in multiple source learning algorithms with very small sample numbers. I also intend to do my Master’s Thesis in Juho Rousu’s group," explains Nguyen.

As for marketing measures, Nguyen has translated the Aalto University Wikipedia page into Vietnamese and been active in administering the Computer, Communication and Information Science Facebook group, together with professor Petri Vuorimaa.
