Amira Rasheed Ismail, Archana Thomas, Liyan Qalyoubi and Maha Ajmal, guided by their mentor Prof. Ioannis Zuburtikudis, took part in the three-day event, competing against 17 teams from major universities throughout the MENA region. “I am very proud of our students, since they had to research the topic in a relatively short period of time, prepare their presentation and defend their thesis” added mentor Prof. Ioannis.
