It is very exciting to be one of the students representing Queen’s this year at the Global Undergraduate Awards. It was truly an honour to have had the opportunity to submit my work alongside so many other students from around the world. To have my work recognized means a great deal to me as I hold the experiences and knowledge I gained in producing my thesis close to my heart. I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Randy E. Ellis for his encouragement to submit my work, and for all of his guidance and support along the way. I would also like to thank the organizer of the thesis program Dr. Mousavi, and the School of Computing for providing me with the chances to produce the research I submitted. This is an experience I will not soon forget.
