NTT Data awards project by two Técnico students in the Learning curricular unit.
The NTT Data Merit Award in Learning 2024/2025 recognized Leonor Figueira and Raquel Rodrigues as the winners of this edition, in a ceremony held on January 17 at the NTT Data offices, a company that has been part of Técnico’s Partner Network since 2018. Ten teams competed in the final pitch for the award, which recognizes the best project developed within the Learning curricular unit.
Each team had the opportunity to present their project, focusing on the detection of benign and malignant tumors in breast cancer, showcasing the applied models and obtained results. A jury panel, consisting of professors Miguel Couceiro and Andreas Wichert, along with Hugo Dionísio, Director of the Data & Analytics division at NTT Data, evaluated the teams’ performances.
Winners Leonor Figueira and Raquel Rodrigues stood out for the quality of their project and the clarity in communicating their results, according to the jury. The €2,500 prize recognized the students’ continuous effort and dedication.
“It is very rewarding to see our work recognized. Initiatives like this foster students’ interest in engineering,” said Raquel Rodrigues.
“It was a continuous learning experience where we deepened topics we wouldn’t have explored otherwise,” added Leonor Figueira.
