UKhensani Xivuri uyenze imbali njengowokuqala umfazi omnyama ophumelele izidanga zobugqirha kwiSayensi yeDatha esebenzayo kwiYunivesithi yaseJohannesburg. Umsitho wenzeka eUJ ngoLwesine, umhla we-14 kuMatshi 2024.
UGqirha Xivuri uchaze loo mvakalelo yemfundo yakhe ephakamileyo ngelithi ivela kwidolophu yasePeninghotsa, eMalamulele kwiPhondo laseLimpopo. Impumelelo yakhe ebalulekileyo ngumqondiso womsebenzi wakhe onzima, ukuzinikela, kunye nokuzimisela kwakhe ukuqwenga izithintelo kwicandelo ledata science.
Uchaze amava akhe njengalawo anemfuno enkulu kodwa anovuyo olukhulu, kunye nobusuku obudityaniswa neentsasa, ebaleka phakathi kwezemfundo nomsebenzi, ejongene nemiceli mngeni enzima.
“Ekuqaleni, amanqaku abomvu ayelapha phantse kuyo yonke into endiyinikelayo kumphathi wam, kodwa inkqubela phambili yaveza ekugqibeleni.”
UXivuri uchaze ukuba uyazingca ngokubizwa ngoGqirha Xivuri kwaye ukhuthaza abanye abafazi ukuba baqhubeke beqwenga izithintelo kwaye bafake amagama abo kumacandelo e-STEM. “Kuziva kuphantse kungakholeleki! Ndizele luvuyo kunye nokwaneliseka. Kuyo yonke le ndlela yam, ndiye ndachuma ngemingeni; ndifumana uvuyo ngokutyhala imida yam kwaye ndibona ubunzima bonke njengethuba lokugqitha kwizinto endizifezileyo ngaphambili, oku kubangela umvuyo omkhulu. Ndikholelwa ukuba abafazi kufuneka bamkele imisebenzi ye-STEM njengee-adventure ezimnandi; kufuneka sikhuthaze abafazi abaninzi ukuba bafake iindawo zabo baze bavuse umdla kwisizukulwana esilandelayo kweli candelo. Ngokwanda kobukho bethu kwi-STEM, kokukhona izizukulwana ezizayo zabafazi ziya kuqiniseka ngakumbi. Sifuna iinkokheli ezizinikeleyo ekuphakameni abanye njengoko bencuma,” wongeze watsho.
Uphononongo lukaGqirha Xivuri luya kugxila ekuphuhliseni imodeli yokwenza inkqubo ejolise ekuqapheliseni nasekupheliseni ucalucalulo kwiimodeli zeArtificial Intelligence (AI) phambi kokuba zisetyenziswe. Ngokutsho kukaMlawuli weSikolo soLwazi lwaBathengi kunye neNkqubo zoLwazi eUJ, uGqirha Stella Bvuma wazichaza iimvakalelo zakhe malunga nempumelelo kaGqirha Xivuri kwaye wamncoma ngokufumana isidanga esinje.
“Impumelelo yakhe ayiyophumelelo yemfundo kuphela, ibonakalisa umxholo wokugqitha izithintelo nokuvulela indlela kwizizukulwana ezizayo. Kwixesha elixhomekeke ngakumbi kwiinkcukacha kunye neteknoloji, iingcali ezifana noKhensani ziyinxalenye exabisekileyo, ezinobuchule bokuhamba kumhlaba wedijithali ngokuqiniseka kunye nolwazi olunzulu,” utshilo uGqirha Stella Bvuma.
