Back-to-Back Wins: BASIRA MSc Students Awarded Splunk Prize in 2023 & 2024

Sharing this short video I made to spread some joy (turn the volume up!)— and highlight an amazing achievement worth celebrating! I will soon be launching a “BASIRA Mentorship Program” for students who would like to master GNNs. This is a teaser into the program.

Two MSc students from our BASIRA Lab at I-X, Christopher Adnel and Kevin Mancini, have been awarded the Imperial College London Splunk Prize for Excellence for their exceptional individual projects on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and their Computing projects were “Distinguished”— in 2023 and 2024, respectively!

This back-to-back recognition highlights not only their talent and hard work but also the inspiring momentum we’re building in the field of **inclusive, equitable and affordable AI**.

A reminder for us all: AI and science should be used to heal — not harm.
