Announcing a Winner!
ANZIC PRIZE FOR BEST STUDENT PUBLICATION
We are overjoyed to unveil the winner of the first-ever ANZIC Prize for Best Student Publication: Ratneel Deo, a PhD student from the University of Sydney.
Ratneel’s pioneering paper, ‘ReefCoreSeg: A Clustering-Based Framework for Multi-Source Data Fusion for Segmentation of Reef Drill Cores‘ harnesses machine learning to produce an annotated image of a reef core with six lithologies identified.
Ratneel’s exceptional work, coupled with his impressive outreach, put him above a competitive field, setting a wonderful precedent for this new tradition of recognising student excellence.
Ratneel was able to present his work – and receive his trophy – at the ANZIC Forum in Auckland in June.
Congratulations Ratneel!
