Laura Hernández, a graduate pupil on the School of Engineering, Science and Technology on the Universidad del Rosario, was the primary Colombian chosen to take part with a full scholarship within the undergraduate analysis internship program at Mohammed Bin University within the United Arab Emirates (Mohammed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, MBZUAI).
In a extremely aggressive course of, 1,047 college students from world wide utilized and solely 57 have been chosen, representing an acceptance price of 5.4 %. “With nice delight and satisfaction, we spotlight that Laura will not be solely chosen, but additionally turns into a Colombian pioneer to be a part of this prestigious expertise,” stated Rafael Alberto Méndez-Romero, director of the School of Engineering, Science and Technology from the University of Rosario.
MBZUAI, positioned within the United Arab Emirates, represents a milestone in training and innovation on the world degree. Dedicated to educating and growing elite expertise within the area of synthetic intelligence, the institute not solely contributes to the innovation ecosystem, but additionally serves as a strategic assume tank for the private and non-private sectors.
Inspired and named in honor of Shaheen Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, this college could be very a lot in step with that nation’s strategic objectives, contemplating synthetic intelligence as important to the nation’s future development and prosperity.
“I’m joyful to be part of this excellent venture. The implications of being a kind of chosen are many. It’s a possibility that may give me new alternatives sooner or later, I can even acquire expertise and instruments that may enhance my skilled profile,” stated Laura Hernández.
To encourage future leaders
Laura Hernández stands out as probably the greatest college students on the School of Engineering, Science and Technology of the Universidad del Rosario, stated the dean of the School of Engineering, Science and Technology on the Universidad del Rosario.
“Since he got here in, he has used the out there sources and took part in varied packages that strengthen his profile. He has a ardour for constructive analysis, has collaborated on revolutionary tasks, together with maritime cybersecurity analysis utilizing epidemiological fashions, and has developed picture classifiers with synthetic intelligence,” it highlights.
Laura can also be an energetic member of the scholar chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), particularly the Computer Society, the place she has proven distinctive management, encouraging communication and empathy amongst her friends, stated the lecturer.
Bridging the gender hole in science and know-how
The participation of a Colombian pupil within the Summer School of Mohammed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) represents not solely a private and educational milestone, but additionally an vital bridge for brand new hyperlinks between greater training in Colombia and the United Arab. Emirates.
“This change of knowledge focuses on programs in Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies, which mirror the college’s proposition.

The lecturer highlighted that “this expertise is an instance of how, by means of affirmative actions and the event of the expertise of our college students, we are able to cope with the gender hole that continues within the fields of science and know-how.”
“Historically, girls’s participation in science has been restricted in comparison with males’s, however the success of Laura and different college students in our School of Engineering, Science and Technology reveals that the fields usually are not gender-biased. The outcomes obtained are proof that, with a supportive, fertile and protected atmosphere, every pupil can attain their highest potential, no matter gender,” highlighted Méndez-Romero.
Laura could be very grateful to her household, as these achievements are the results of the continual love and encouragement they’ve given her all through this journey.
