This year, ETH alumna Stefanie Zbinden sat on the committee organising the launch of the first European Girls’ Olympiad in Informatics (EGOI). Stefanie gained both her Bachelor’s and Master's degrees in Mathematics at ETH. This September, she started her PhD at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh. She talks to us about why informatics is still a subject area very much dominated by men and the tools which can be deployed to improve access for young women.

Machine Learning – Evolution oder Revolution?
Math • Phys Alumni
Unter dem Motto „Machine Learning – Evolution oder Revolution?“ luden die Math • Phys Alumni zur sechsten Math • Phys Lecture. Nachdem die letzten fünf Events in der ehrwürdigen Semperaula stattfanden, musste die sechste Veranstaltung an einem neuen Ort durchgeführt werden, da der Traditionsraum mit seinem Wandgemälde und den Stuckaturen zu stark unter Grossanlässen leiden würde. Die 120 Math • Phys Alumni trafen sich darum im Dozentenfoyer und genossen den wunderbaren Ausblick auf die Dächer von Zürich.
