Postgraduate Presentation Day 2017

We have prepared an album of photos from this year's event and you may view this by clicking on the following link.

There were 38 presenters plus university staff present at this event. Students and Staff from Massey University travelled by bus to the campus and the event started on time. The event was organised by Harsh Tataria and a small band of enthusiastic helpers who arranged the refreshments, kept the time schedule on track and coordinated the arrangement of the room and facilities. They did an excellent job and were thanked by Professor Donald Bailey IEEE Central Section Chair at the conclusion of the day's proceedings. There were 4 judges who had a very tough task in determining the winners of the event, they were: Professor Donald Bailey, Dr Murray Milner and Professors Emeriti John Hine and Richard Harris. All agreed that the standard of presentaions had set a very "high bar" and it took a while to determine the Winner and two runners up. As in previous years all participants were presented with certificates of appreciation for their efforts. Although it was a long day, the lively discussions during and following the event showed the importance of the networking aspects - quite apart from the competitive nature of the presentations!!!

There were a total of about 30 people registered for the event. 26 presentations were scheduled with about eight of the students from Massey University and eighteen from Victoria University - Massey students travelled from Palmerston North on a minibus in order to attend the event. We had 3 judges on the panel: Donald Bailey, Ramesh Rayudu and Bing Xue. Donald acted as timekeeper and Richard Harris acted as MC and photographer. The event was held at Victoria University in the AM 101 seminar room on the Kelburn Campus. Proceedings began at around 9:00am and concluded at about 3:30pm with a pizza lunch and a prize giving ceremony. Our thanks go to Henry Williams from the Victoria University IEEE Student Branch for his fine effort in staging this event. Each presenter was given 7 minutes to present their research work and they were allocated about 3 minutes for Q & A. Judging was based on the quality of the presentation and the presenter’s ability to answer questions relating to their work in a confident and appropriate manner – as if they were at an international standard conference. All presenters were awarded a signed certificate on behalf of the Central Section in order to recognise their contribution to the success of the event.

The winner was Rachel Hunt from Victoria University who presented a talk on “Evolving Less-Myopic Scheduling Rules with GP” and the two runners-up were Harsh Tataria (also from Victoria University) with “On thePerformance of Coordinated Multi-tier Heterogenous Cellular Networks" and Nirosha Priyadarshani (from Massey University) with “Automatic Birdsong Recognition”. Muhammad Yousuf Tufail received an honourable mention for his presentation on "Image Registration".

In order to assist the students in preparing their talks, they were sent by email, copies of two presentation guides: “Presentation Lessons from Comedians” and “Presentation Guide – IEEE Slide pack”. Each of these guides was deemed to be useful from feedback received from the students presenting on the day. All presenters were awarded a signed certificate on behalf of the Central Section in order to recognise their contribution to the success of the event. Book voucher prizes were kindly donated by the IEEE Central Section and Bennetts Book Store to the winners and runners-up. The winner was Rachel Hunt from Victoria University who presented a talk on “Evolving Dispatching Rules for the Two-Machine Job Shop with Genetic Programming” and the two runners-up (also from Victoria University) were David Harrison (“Rare Event Monitoring with Wireless Sensor Networks Powered by Harvested Energy”) and Harsh Tataria (“Design and Implementation of Multichannel Crosstalk Cancellation Filters in Personal Audio Systems”). Ayesha Hakim received an honourable mention and awarded a Certificate of Appreciation.
