(ACM) Student Research Competition
Date: October 24th. 2007
Darren Lunn a 3rd year PhD student working on Web Accessibility with the Human Centred Web Lab in the IMG has won 2nd prize in the Microsoft Research / Association of Computer Machinery (ACM) Student Research Competition (SRC) .
The
Student Research Competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research
and the ACM, was held as part of the Ninth International ACM
SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility and is an
internationally recognized venue enabling graduate students to
share research results and exchange ideas with other students,
judges, and conference attendees and understand the practical
applications of their research. Indeed, the ACM SRC is probably
the only real chance for a young researcher to really get a voice,
get into the field, and get to know people.
Darren was judged on his motivation of the research; background work; approach; results and contribution.
The first and second rounds of the SRC were evaluated based on quality of oral and visual presentation; research methods; and significance of the contribution. For the final round, the SRC Grand Finals, he will go on to be judged on his full 8 page paper.
Congratulations to Darren!
