\n

Since 2015, 11 February has stood as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science \u2013 an initiative that aims to encourage gender equality in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. At SnT, we have so many inspiring women who are shaping the technologies of the future \u2013 one of which is Elona Dupont, a doctoral researcher within the Computer Vision, Imaging and Machine Intelligence (CVi2) research group. Having been a teacher for 16 years, she took the inspiring step three years ago to venture back to the other side of the classroom. She took on a Master\u2019s degree at the University of Luxembourg in 2019, and began her Ph.D. in July 2021 at SnT. We spoke to Dupont to explore her previous career, research interests and role models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elona, could you share with us the subject of your Ph.D.<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course! I started my Ph.D. last year at SnT and it\u2019s all about computer vision, in collaboration with Artec 3D<\/a> \u2013 they make handheld 3D scanners. My Ph.D. is exploring how to improve the quality of data acquired by the scanners, so that engineers can use it more efficiently. I\u2019m working on this through \u2018reverse engineering\u2019 \u2013 essentially it involves deducing the design intent of an object from its scan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us about your career before SnT, and why you decided to change careers<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to be a teacher in international schools, teaching children between the ages of 12-18 in the fields of mathematics, physics and computer science \u2013 my original degree many years ago was in physics. I got to travel the world, teaching in schools in six very different countries \u2013 Mexico, China, India, Germany, Japan and Guatemala. The human aspect of this job was so rewarding, but teaching stays relatively the same every year \u2013 it\u2019s very static. In research \u2013 particularly in computer science \u2013 it can be quite the opposite, it\u2019s a dynamic field that reinvents itself every few years. Teaching was a great experience, but I needed something that was going to give me a different challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any long-term goals you\u2019d like to accomplish in <\/strong>this<\/strong> area of research?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To finish my Ph.D. would be really the first important goal! After, we\u2019ll see what comes my way. Having just started on this road, I\u2019m not sure yet about whether I\u2019d like to stay in academia or go into industry. It\u2019s one of the reasons why I\u2019m with SnT \u2013 it\u2019s an institution that allows you to experience the best of both worlds and really get a feel for what each might be like to pursue as a career in the future: it\u2019s exciting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any female role models<\/strong> that inspire your work<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the field of computer science and physics, there have been women working in these areas throughout history \u2013 but sadly they\u2019re not well known as their contributions have not been recorded. It\u2019s difficult to find many in this respect. However, it\u2019s really great that within the CVi2<\/a> research group we have a very high ratio of women to men. I would consider each and every one of them to be role models to me, because they all bring such valuable insights and they have had to work hard to get where they are. They\u2019re very talented individuals! Having Prof. Djamila Aouada<\/a> as a leader is also one of the reasons why I wanted to do my Ph.D. here. During my Master\u2019s degree I had a class taught by Djamila, and I found her way of thinking and how she structured the subject very appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think needs to be done to encourage more girls and women to pursue a career in STEM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, I wish I had a simple answer \u2013 it\u2019s something we discuss in our group often. There are things that can be done in the short- and long-term \u2013 but \u2018traditional\u2019 binary gender roles and society may continue to limit the access of women in certain professions. Looking at the field of computer science, the vast majority of people in key positions in the field are cis-men, things are getting better but there\u2019s a long way to go.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
