Postgraduate students from the Research Centre for Carbon Solutions (RCCS), Fergus Mcilwaine and John Young, were awarded the DeepNote prize for their application of machine learning techniques to COVID-19 vaccination data. The competition, hosted by DeepNote, requested that participants use data science techniques to build a story focussing on COVID-19 vaccinations, and present an analysis in a creative and attractive manner. Submission topics varied from Twitter sentiment analysis to an in-depth look at the Pakistani vaccination programme. DeepNote is a data science notebook that allows real time collaboration and runs in the cloud.
The Research Centre for Carbon Solutions is an interdisciplinary world-leading engineering centre, inspiring and delivering innovation for the wider deployment of technologies needed to meet net-zero carbon targets. Utilising our extensive suite of research equipment (including x-ray CT scanner, core flood rig, sorption, and thermogravimetric analyzers, chromatography and spectrometry systems, along with several bespoke engineering rigs) we facilitate numerous multi-national research projects in CO2 Capture and Storage, CO2 Utilisation, Low Carbon Systems, and Negative Emissions Technologies.
The RCCS lab welcomes collaborative research projects, contract analysis, and open access use. For further information, facility tours, or equipment demonstrations, please contact the RCCS Laboratory Manager, Dr. Sean Higgins.
