Computer Science student presents paper at the 17th Balkan Mineral Processing Congress in Turkey

Congratulations to our final year Computer Science student from Kosovo, Rina Basholli, on successfully presenting a paper at the 17th Balkan Mineral Processing Congress held in Antalya, Turkey, 1-3 November 2017. The Balkan Mineral Processing Congress (BMPC) an event that takes part every year, hosted by different countries trying to represent a technical platform for the safe and sustainable future of the mining and mineral processing industries in Balkan countries. Selected experts of the field – Rina being among them - are invited from the Balkan and non-Balkan countries such as: Kosovo, Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, USA, Russia, Brazil, Jordan, Algeria etc. to deliver a speech on particular areas of the field tackling a specific problem and possibly suggest a sustainable solution. Representing Kosovo, Rina presented a paper she co-authored and has been accepted for publication titled “Optimization of the processes with Newton Algorithm”. The paper presented the practical performance of achieving the optimum reagent regime by applying the Newton’s mathematical algorithm for solving problems of nonlinear equations. Rina’s contribution to the paper, apart the calculations conducted, was also to bargain the appropriate software engineering process and methods towards completing the particular software in the near future. “Besides of having the opportunity to meet many experts of the field, it was a great pleasure for me to be given the chance of delivering a speech on the possibility of Kosova’s Coal Processing”, Rina commented adding: “The diverse background provided from the professors of the department of Computer Science at the International Faculty CITY College has had a huge impact on the preparation of the paper. The calculations made were nothing but an expansion towards the specific field of the things we’ve already learnt and practiced at the Computer Science department. It was an excellent opportunity to actually put that knowledge on practice and gain impactful results out of it. I think that apart from my knowledge on the field a huge impact has had my involvement in many self-expressing, creative, leadership and organisational activities at the International Faculty, such as Students Spring Symposium, where I was leading the technical team last year and the Startify7 Summer Academy for Entrepreneurship as the final winner in Summer 2016.” The paper is already published in the 17th BMPC Proceedings book and soon will also be published online. The Congress brought together a large number of senior officials from Turkey and many other countries as well as the authorities from the companies that are operating in the mining and mineral processing industry in order to create an opportunity to evaluate the future of the sector.
