Congratulations to Mr Wu Yan, an NSS (PhD) scholar with the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), who was awarded a Certificate of Merit from the International Association of Engineers for his paper entitled ‘Detect Climate Factors Contributing to Dengue Outbreak based on Wavelet, Support Vector Machines and Genetic Algorithms’.

The paper, which was presented at the 2008 International Conference of Data Mining and Knowledge Engineering in London, was one out of 591 papers accepted (Acceptance rate: 57.43%) at The World Congress on Engineering (WCE) 2008.

 Wu Yan was one of the 63 recipients of the WCE 2008 Best Paper Awards. His paper has also been selected to be part of an edited book, titled “Advances in Electrical Engineering and Computational Science” to be published for WCE 2008.

Wu Yan, who collaborated with his fellow researchers during his one year research attachment on the paper, is currently pursuing his PhD on Computational Neuroscience at Imperial College, London.
