#tdslab's Ian Shen defended his dissertation "Healthcare Information System Engineering: AI Technologies and Open Source Approaches" very successfully! Ian focused on the development of Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) using Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques that address a number of issues in healthcare. Furthermore, Ian conducted investigations on how to improve HIS engineering with Open Source methodology. #LeidenUniversity
Well done, Ian👍🎓
From Student Encampment Leiden & The Hague:
"🚨STUDENTS HAVE OCCUPIED THE OLDEST UNIVERSITY BUILDING IN THE NETHERLANDS TO DEMAND AN ACADEMIC BOYCOTT NOW🚨
📢 JOIN THE SUPPORT DEMO NOW📢
📍Dr. Suleiman Haboush University (Rapenburg 73, #Leiden)
Today, #LeidenUniversity holds an annual lecture to commemorate Dr. Rudolph Cleveringa, who gave a famous lecture in honor of his Jewish colleague and in protest of the Nazi occupation on November 26, 1940.
Yet, while claiming to celebrate the scholar who stood against the Nazi occupation and #genocide, Leiden University remains complicit in perpetuating ‘israel’s’ occupation and genocide - including #scholasticide - in Palestine.
Leiden University’s silence is a grave betrayal of Cleveringa’s lessons. By staying complicit genocide, occupation, and the violent denial of a people’s right to self determination, LU is exploiting and defiling Cleveringa’s legacy.
We protest today to call out Leiden University’s hypocrisy and complicity. No research project can justify working with institutions complicit in occupation and genocide.
‼️We will not leave until the Board commits to our demands: ACADEMIC BOYCOTT NOW‼️"
