It is our pleasure to announce Anna Baghumayn as the fifth recipient of the Helmut Veith Stipend for Female Master’s Students in Computer Science, submission period November 2020.

The scholarship is awarded to Anna Baghumayn, who has recently graduated from the American University of Armenia with a BS in Computer Science and who has been admitted to the Data Science Master program at TU Wien.

Ms Baghumayn received an Akian Scholarship for her Bachelor Studies during which she was particularly interested in statistics, optimization and probability classes. During internships she gained experience as  a web and android developer and to expand her skills in these fields of research she enrolled for extracurricular classes such as online programming courses by Udemy and data science classes. In addition, Anna Baghumayn also participated in several study-related projects and case studies such as predicting employee churn, classifying song genres from audio data, correctly guessing the street signs for smart cars, forecasting the weather using machine learning techniques.

Anna Baghumayn is planning to start her studies at TU Wien in the winter semester 2021/22.
