Abby Stevenson

MSc Advanced Computing with Artificial Intelligence Student

I recently graduated with a 2:1 BSc (Hons) in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence from Heriot-Watt University, and I'm now doing an MSc Advanced Computing with Artificial Intelligence at the University of Stirling. 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.

My long-term goal is to progress into a PhD after finishing my Masters. Right now, I'm open to part-time roles alongside my studies. I'm especially interested in roles related to ethical AI, research, or applied machine learning that align with my values and interests.
