Robin's elevator pitch
"Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly promising in healthcare. However, ensuring patient privacy remains a major concern that limits the use of AI in this field. This thesis proposes synthetic data, which not only mimics the structure and statistical properties of patient data without the risk of revealing sensitive information but can also be generated in large volumes, as a viable solution to mitigate privacy concerns. The results underscored the high utility of synthetic data, with a 10% improvement in AUC ROC scores of a decision tree classifier trained on synthetic data compared to one trained on real patient data."

Jente's elevator pitch
"Patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis are at increased risk for recurrent ischaemic stroke and may therefore benefit from carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Currently, primarily the degree of stenosis is used to stratify patients for CEA. Nevertheless, symptomatic patients with mild stenosis may still carry a considerable risk. This thesis investigated the predictive value of carotid plaque burden on CT Angiography (CTA) for recurrent ipsilateral ischaemic cerebrovascular symptoms in transient ischaemic attack (TIA) and stroke patients. Plaque burden on CTA was found to be an independent predictor for recurrent ipsilateral stroke or TIA."

Luisa's elevator pitch
"My thesis explores Basquiat’s incorporation of masks into his self-portraits from 1982-1984 and the significance of this imagery within the context of African diaspora aesthetics. Drawing on theories by Kobena Mercer, Stuart Hall, and Homi K. Bhabha, and by means of a detailed semiotic analysis, I argue that Basquiat’s use of masks in his self-portraits, as part of his social critique and based on his diaspora identity, has created a space that represents the hybrid nature of diaspora existence and identity and allows room for both resistance and subversion of existing social and cultural structures such as racism and white supremacy."
In this video Luisa is addressed briefly by the immediate supervisor.
Maastricht University celebrates its 48th Dies Natalis on Friday 26 January 2024. Every year, the best master's and bachelor's theses by our students are rewarded during the Dies Natalis celebration. They receive five hundred euros, a certificate and a small gift as a token of appreciation from our Rector Magnificus.
You can watch the livestream here.
Twenty-two students completed their bachelor's degree in 2023 with a thesis that was labelled excellent by their faculty. They were celebrated during a live webinar hosted by our Rector Magnificus Pamela Habibović. Using the links below their names, you will find an "elevator pitch" from each student, plus a video in which the supervisor congratulates the lucky winner.
