Xue Yang Testimonial

I completed the MSc in Information Systems Management at University of Galway, which sparked my interest in IT. To further shift from business to tech, I pursued the MSc in Computer Science (Data Analytics), covering AI fields like machine learning, deep learning, and NLP. The program inspired my AI research journey. I won the ITAG Cyber Student Project Award for applying reinforcement learning to the FlipIt security game, the basis of my PhD, and I deeply value my supervisors’ guidance.
