Join us for the November 2024 Dundee Data Meetup

Join us for our monthly Dundee Data Meetup, featuring two expert speakers who will share their insights into game testing and handling sensitive data with open science.

Speakers and Topics

1. A/B Testing in Mobile Games and Beyond: Bridging Industry and Academia

Eliza Ralph, Technologist, founder and researcher

Eliza will provide an insight onto A/B testing from the perspective of the mobile games industry and her own academic interests.

2. Sensitive Data and Open Science

Simon Li, Senior Research Infrastructure Engineer at the Health Informatics Centre, University of Dundee

"Open Science" is the idea that scientific research should be accessible to everyone. This is a bit trickier when it comes to sensitive data, such as healthcare data. Simon will be talking about the "Trusted Research Environment" run by Dundee that allows researchers to analyse sensitive data, whilst minimising the risk of that data being leaked.
