The Joseph Fourier Prize was awarded to Lucia Hradecká
Our PhD student Lucia Hradecká received the important award. Lucia won the prestigious 2nd place in the Joseph Fourier Prize competition and received the IT4Innovations award for her work "Automatic processing of biomedical image data using deep learning".
The Joseph Fourier Prize is awarded for outstanding research in applied mathematics and computer science in memory of the eminent French mathematician Joseph Fourier. This competition recognizes outstanding scientific work in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, computer systems and networks, database systems, human-computer interaction, numerical analysis, programming languages, software engineering, graphics, bioinformatics, and computer theory.
With her project on biomedical data, Lucia has shown how deep learning can contribute to a better understanding and processing of complex image data, which is crucial for medical applications and diagnostics. The results of her research are being used, for example, to identify the causes of breast cancer. Another award from IT4Innovations entitles Lucie to 250,000 computing hours on a supercomputer at the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Centre in Ostrava.
Eviden presents the awards in cooperation with the Embassy of France in Prague. This year was the fourteenth edition of this event.
Other winners include Juraj Síč from the Brno University of Technology, who won first place for his work on efficient algorithms for working with finite automata, and Karel Beneš, also from the Brno University of Technology, who received third place for his research on advanced, recurrent neural networks in language modeling.
We warmly congratulate Lucie and the other awardees and wish them many more successes in their scientific careers.
