Lucas Puddifoot was a Master's student in Artificial Intelligence: Intelligent Technology.

What knowledge and skills did you learn during your Master’s that are really useful to you now?

The Master's taught me to work independently, as well as in a team. These two working styles are very different but are both crucial later in life.

What did you find most challenging in your Master’s? Did you encounter any obstacles?

I found the independent working style a challenge because I had to manage my time and work. However, because it challenged me so much I am now very adept at it.

Could you say a little about the job you do now (function and description of your daily activities)?

I am sent out to companies who have a problem that can be solved with computer vision and help them create a solution.

What do you like about your profession and what makes working in your field so interesting and/or relevant?

It is the bleeding edge of technology allowing me to always stay up to date with new findings and techniques, which is super important in a world where we are increasingly dependent on technology.

Do you have any tips/suggestions for prospective students?
