Kushatha Ntwaetsile

Earlier on in the astrophysics sessions , Dr. Kushatha Ntwaetsile (@KushathaN) & Boitumelo Gaolape (@Bgaolape) presented "The Development in Africa with Radio Astronomy (DARA) Project: Overview and Experiences." 🌍🔭 @richardpmann @SunbirdAI #DARA #IndabaXUG2024

An historic achievement by @KushathaN and we’re immensely proud that @DARABigData could be part of her story ✨📡💻 You can read more about Kush’s research and her ambitions for the future here: darabigdata.com/kushatha-ntwae… @NewtonFund @STFC_Matters @SKA_Africa @SKAO @biustbw

Beyond proud to be presenting Kush at graduation today - Botswana's first astrophysics PhD! Congratulations Dr Ntwaetsile! @UniofHerts @I_Hert_Space herts.ac.uk/about-us/news-…

Tsamaya native, Kushatha Ntwaetsile, is the first Motswana to obtain a PhD in Astrophysics. Employed at BIUST, she is currently working on Botswana’s contribution to one of the world’s largest astronomy projects. The 33-year old spoke to @MboBW mmegi.bw/article/110464

Great news to end the week! Our former PhD student Kushatha Ntwaetsile just started work as a Software & Data Processing Engineer, working on the Botswana contribution to the SKA Telescope! Kush's research involved classification of astronomical surveys using #MachineLearning 📡

Another @DARABigData PhD student has just passed their viva; join us in congratulating Dr Kushatha Ntwaetsile! 🎓 Kushatha has been researching #MachineLearning classifications for astronomical surveys, read more here; darabigdata.com/kushatha-ntwae… Well done Kush, we're very proud!👏

Proud supervisor moment: please welcome Dr @KushathaN who has just passed her PhD viva! @UniofHerts @I_Hert_Space @DARABigData @dara_project

@DARABigData @Eddie3x @StirUni @NewtonFund @SussexUni @AstroSeb @PedramRowhani @jgeach @STFC_Matters Congratulations Dr Salakpi👏

Meet Dr Salakpi!🎓Our student Edward @Eddie3x has just passed his viva, becoming the 3rd @DARABigData PhD graduate! His work uses #BigData & #remotesensing to predict the impact of climate on agriculture. Huge congrats Eddie & good luck with your new postdoc role at @StirUni! 👏

Are you in #Africa & interested in #DataScience? A free 3-day online Women in Data Science event will take place March 22. The 1st day’s plenary session is open to all, followed by a 2-day #hackathon (restrictions apply). See link for info & registration; forms.gle/LrLzgBYVjfr3p5…

This video features young Africans who have taken part in the DARA Big Data programme, as postgraduate students, workshop participants, policy fellows & tutors 💻👩🏿‍💻 We are grateful to them for their participation & to all those who have supported @darabigdata. #BigData #Africa

Appearing in this video are @KushathaN, @Eddie3x, @chelmis3_, @PrincyTahina, @ZHosenie, @RamiroSaide, @lamechthinkbig, @NgongaEmmanuel, @SymonSimeon & Alexander Kipronoh. They represent all 8 African @SKAO partnership countries. Read more about them here;darabigdata.com

Our PhD student Kushatha @KushathaN is giving a talk next Thurs 28 Oct for the Astronomical Society of Botswana. She will talk about her work on galaxy classification using #MachineLearning This is a virtual talk, all are welcome. Full details on flyer below. #BigData #astronomy

2/4 Zafiirah Hosenie @ZHosenie, from Mauritius, is a @UoMPhysics PhD student & author of several papers. Her studies focus on astronomical classification, building both her own pipeline & a #CNN algorithm to detect FRBs #BlackInAstroWeek2021 #AstroWorld darabigdata.com/zafiirah-hosen…

4/4 Kushatha Ntwaetsile @KushathaN from Botswana is a former computer scientist turned astronomer. She is studying for a PhD at @UniofHerts, using #MachineLearning to automatically classify new & unseen galaxies #BlackInAstroWeek2021 #AstroWorld darabigdata.com/kushatha-ntwae…

Congratulations to @lamechthinkbig, who successfully passed his viva yesterday and is now DARA Big Data's first PhD graduate! 👨🏾‍🎓 Lameck has been studying image data mining to analyse radiotherapy treated tumours. Well done Dr Amugongo, we're very proud! 🥂 #BigData @NewtonFund

@DARABigData @lamechthinkbig @NewtonFund Wooow congrats Lameck

Our PhD student Kushatha @KushathaN has had a paper accepted in @RAS_Journals, looking at the use of Haralick features in automated classification of radio galaxies✨ Full paper on link below. Congrats Kush! @NewtonFund @jgeach #BigData #MachineLearning arxiv.org/abs/2102.00843

@sallyemmacooper @DARABigData Thank you very much Sally. Its sad we never met but hopefully we will meet in future.

@DARABigData @KushathaN Sorry we never got to meet! It was great to read your Q&A. I hope your research is going well.

'I used supervised machine learning techniques to predict the stock market using social media data, that's where my interest in #DataScience really began' Our PhD student @KushathaN now uses #MachineLearning to classify astro #BigData, read more below!💫 darabigdata.com/kushatha-ntwae…
