Conference Scholarships 2024-25
This year, we conducted an anonymous peer-review process and awarded two conference scholarships, providing recipients with up to £750 each to support travel, passes, and other expenses related to presenting their research at leading technology conferences
Juliette Zaccour (2nd year DPhil in Social Data Science, Oxford Internet Institute) presented her PhD thesis paper, “Access Denied: Meaningful Data Access for Quantitative Algorithm Audits”, at the CHI 2025 Conference on Human Factors in Computing — Yokohama, Japan. The paper received an “Honorable Mention” award, delivered to the top 5% of accepted papers.
Kexin Xu (DPhil Student in Medical Science) attended the International Spatial Biology Congress in The Hague, Netherlands (May 15–16), and presented her work on “Predicting Spatial Transcriptomics From Gut Histopathology Images Using Deep Learning”. The poster was selected as one of the two winners of the competition.
