The Unforeseen Path: Jocelyn's Journey from Chemical Engineering to Electrical & Electronics Engineering
Jocelyn's journey to become a Gold Chancellor Award winner at UTP is nothing short of remarkable.
Her academic journey at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) was a journey of discovery. She embarked on her studies with a plan to become a Chemical Engineer, but fate had something different in store. During her foundation studies, she found her calling by the world of programming. This newfound interest led her to switch her major, transitioning from Chemical Engineering to Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
Jocelyn's journey wasn't just about academic excellence; it was also about making a meaningful impact through her skills. She embarked on a mission to harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to advance the healthcare industry.
Jocelyn proudly secured three First Prizes and one Runner Up in national AI-related competitions, all centered around her passion for using AI to transform healthcare.
In the Petrosains RBTX Challenge, she pursued a project that aimed to revolutionize the way scoliosis was diagnosed. By enhancing a deep learning model that could identify scoliosis angles based on X-Ray images with an impressive 96% training accuracy, she opened the door to a more cost-effective and accessible method of early detection. Her project had the potential to replace traditional, expensive machines, making it a game-changer for communities in need.
Jocelyn's story is an inspiring reminder that sometimes our true calling lies in the unexpected. Her journey from Penang to becoming an AI Software Engineer showcases the power of passion, dedication, and the willingness to pivot when life presents new opportunities. She's not just a rising star in the world of AI but a true inspiration for anyone seeking to follow their dreams and make a difference.
