The Three Minute Thesis competition, originally founded at the University of Queensland, Australia, is now a globally renowned format that challenges doctoral researchers to present the core of their research in just 180 seconds, making complex scientific work accessible to a broad audience. The Hamburg edition was organized by the Hamburg Research Academy (HRA) and took place in the vibrant Oberhafen district, attracting over 140 participants and guests from Hamburg’s universities.
With his presentation “When Your Keyboard Betrays You”, Nisal impressed both jury and audience, securing third place overall. His research focuses on addressing one of the central challenges in federated learning: solving the problem of concept drift and ensuring reliable model performance across decentralized, heterogeneous data environments. This work contributes to the development of more robust and trustworthy machine learning systems in distributed settings.
The Institute warmly congratulates Nisal on this achievement, which highlights not only the importance of his research but also his ability to communicate it effectively to a wide audience.
