Abby Stevenson

Computer Science with AI Graduate

I'll be graduating from Heriot-Watt University with a degree in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence next month. I'm passionate about using AI to support healthcare and environmental conservation, with a focus on ethical and interpretable machine learning.

My strengths lie in developing robust AI models for image classification, working with real-world datasets, and applying explainable AI techniques, such as Grad-CAM, to support transparency and trust. I enjoy combining technical depth with meaningful impact, whether it's analysing medical imaging data, building tools that support biodiversity monitoring, or applying statistical learning in interdisciplinary contexts.

I also have experience with deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow, cross-validation techniques, model evaluation, and developing end-to-end research pipelines in Python.

I'm currently applying for a Master's in Artificial Intelligence for 2025–26, with the long-term goal of progressing into a PhD. Right now, I'm open to full-time or part-time work over the summer, and part-time roles alongside my studies next year if my application is successful. I'm especially interested in roles related to ethical AI, research, or applied machine learning that align with my values and interests.
