Prof., Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences Evgeny Kryzhanovsky, Assoc. Prof., Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences Oleksiy Kozachko and others.
The works used both real data from the State Water Monitoring System and the State Meteorological Network, as well as hypothetical data, but with a real structure and real examples of their format, that is, all works, after some adaptation, can be actually implemented and give interesting and useful results.
All students are authors of scientific papers, and two are also authors of articles submitted or accepted for publication in a scientific professional publication of Ukraine in their specialty 126. One of the graduates plans to enter graduate school next year, some of the others also received such a recommendation, but still took time to consider this decision.
The commission members noted the high level of readiness of the works, good reports and answers to questions. All works successfully passed the plagiarism check and were published in the JetIQ system of VNTU in advance of the defense. Therefore, most of the works were rated "excellent".
The meeting was also attended by 3rd and 4th year and 1st year master's students of the same specialty from the educational programs "Applied Information Technologies" (bachelor's degree) and "Information Technologies for Data and Image Analysis" of our SAIT department.
