Congratulations to Dr. Ana Rita Pena!

We are thrilled to announce that Ana Rita Pena, a member of the 2019 cohort, has successfully completed her PhD!

Supervised by Derek McAuley, Simon Preston and Alex Lang, Rita’s thesis is entitled A Sociotechnical Evaluation of Differentially Private Risk Assessment Models in Consumer Credit.

In addition to her academic achievements, Rita was awarded the EPSRC Horizon CDT Impact Grant, which she is using for her project on Trust and contextualisation of financial circumstances on payment default prediction.
