We already know the laureates of the 15th edition of “AGH Diamonds”

Julia Machnio was born on August 19, 1999 in Iłża. In secondary school, she majored in mathematics, biology, chemistry, and English. After graduating in 2018, she began studying Biomedical Engineering at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatics, Computer Science, and Biomedical Engineering. In 2021, she participated in the ERASMUS international student exchange programme at Université Grenoble Alpes in France. In 2022, under the supervision of dr inż. Tomasz Pięciak, she defended her engineering thesis entitled “Microstructural brain measures from diffusion MRI using deep learning”, for which she received numerous awards, including in the theses competition  organised by 4 Science Institute under the patronage of the Polish section of the IEEE and GovTech Polska. In 2022, Julia Machnio obtained a scholarship from SANO – Centre for Computational Medicine for a project on brain segmentation with the use of supercomputers, which became the topic of her MA thesis defended in 2023 with distinction.
At present, she continues the research on deep learning for medicine purposes under the supervision of Mads Nielsen and Mehdipour Ghazi in the Pioneer Centre for AI in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Privately, she is an enthusiast of travels, crime books, and animals. She spends her free time playing with her dogs: Lila, Mia, and Uzo.

Monika Mielniczuk was born on June 23, 1999 in Rzeszów. From the beginning of her education, chemistry and physics have occupied a special place in her life. In 2018, she began studying Materials Science at the Faculty of Materials Science and Ceramics. In 2021, under the supervision of dr hab. Ewa Drożdż, she wrote an engineering thesis on synthesis and reductive and electrical properties of nickel-doped strontium titanate. During her university programme, owing to her supervisor, she had an opportunity to participate in research on X-ray absorption (XAS) in the National Synchrotron Radiation Centre SOLARIS in Krakow. In her last year of the 2nd degree programme, she was on a 6-month-long scientific internship in the Empa Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology in the group of Professor Thomas Graule, where she conducted research for the MA thesis on the use of high entropy oxides in catalytic reactions, particularly in hydrogenation of carbon dioxide. The thesis was defended with distinction. The conducted research allowed for developing one of the first methods for synthesising hollow structure consisting of high entropy oxides. During her internship, Monika Mielniczuk had an opportunity to participate and present the results of her research at conferences (for example the 1st Swiss Symposium on Materials Chemistry). 
Currently, she is a doctoral student in the Laboratory for Catalysis and Sustainable Chemistry in the Paul Scherrer Institute, ETH Zürich, Switzerland, where she conducts research related to the conversion of methanol to olefins.
She likes to play the piano, travel, and watch thrillers.
