Técnico student wins Kearney award

Técnico's partner company distinguishes the best student in Probability and Statistics curricular unit.

Diogo Antunes, student of Computer Science and Engineering, received the Kearney Class Excellence Award for his excellent academic performance in the Probability and Statistics curricular unit (CU), in the 2021/2022 academic year. At the ceremony, Diogo shared “this award is the recognition of my passion for mathematics”.

The Department of Mathematics (DM) was also distinguished during the ceremony. Professor José Mourão, Head of the DM, took the opportunity to stress the “emergence of big data and all the mathematical study that it involves”.

With this award, Kearney aims to “recognise talent and teaching quality” and a curricular unit that “is becoming increasingly valuable in consulting and industry,” explained Pedro Vasques, partner at Kearney. This is the fourth time that the company rewards the best Técnico student in this CU, which is common to all Técnico’s degree programmes.
