Congratulations to our Senior Honours student, Verity Powell, who is nominated for the Young Software Engineering of the Year Awards 2025. She is invited to attend the awards dinner, taking place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on Thursday 25th September.
Verity is a Computer Science graduate, and played for the University’s Women’s 1XV Rugby team. Motivated by her experiences of underfunding in women’s sport, Verity’s Senior Honours project combined her passions for technology and athletics to develop accessible resources for community rugby players. The project uses computer vision techniques to automatically analyse conversion kicking attempts and give feedback based on biomechanics and coaching research.
