Nhi did a bachelor of actuarial science at Monash University and then continued to work as a data scientist in Australia for more than a year after graduation. Working in data science ignited her interest in software engineering after she realized the importance of being able to build things with code. This realization stemmed from the fact that she always had to rely on the help of the software engineers within her company to actually deploy and ship her AI/ML models to the end users. With the MS4 program at Brandeis, she hopes to become a software engineer with a focus on building AI/ML products.
Xin Yi received her bachelor's degree in accounting from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. During her undergraduate studies, she was fascinated with solving real-world problems using computational programs. Before she joined Brandeis, she interned at Air Products and developed PowerApps for the sales team across China to analyze sales. She joins Brandeis MSCS program aiming to further sharpen her computational skills. Upon graduation, Xin Yi intends to pursue a career in software development and improve efficiency of users in different industries.
Zihao earned his BS in animal science from Sichuan Agricultural University in China, and an MSc degree in genetics and genomics from the University of Florida, concentrating on bioinformatics and computational biology. He developed a strong interest in programming while deciphering the secret of genomics using his knowledge of biology, computer science and statistics. Having focused on computational methodology studies in his previous research experiences, he realized that understanding the fundamental rules and what happened under the hood in machines was critical for programmers. Zihao's interest drove him to join Brandeis to study computer science and prepare for an exciting and different career.
Josh studied Biology and Psychology as an undergraduate at Brandeis University but always had a curiosity for CS. He was able to take an introductory CS course during his senior year and in doing so fully realized his interest in the field. He hopes to learn and refine his CS skills to complement his Biology foundations. In his free time he enjoys hanging out with friends, being outdoors, tennis, football, and archery.
Ruihao graduated from Peking University with a BS in chemistry and a BE in economics. After graduation, he found his passion in programming and joined a biotech company as a bioinformatics engineer. His work focused on therapeutic target finding with RNA sequencing data. He is currently interested in data analysis methods, including machine learning, and their potential application in tackling real-world challenges.
Ran graduated with her master's degree in psychology in May 2022. She subsequently decided CS was the path for her after programming her experiment.
Yuting's undergraduate major was accounting, but after an internship and some work experience, she soon realized she was not that interested in finance-related work. She hopes to start a new career in information technology by studying computer science at Brandeis.
