Before joining Loughborough, I studied in China as an undergraduate student. I chose to move to Loughborough because I really loved the look of life in a small town, which is quite peaceful. I was studying hardware when I was an undergraduate student, but I wanted to learn more programming skills. Another thing is that I found I am quite interested in artificial intelligence (after seeing the TV series WestWorld). When I was an undergraduate student, I needed to focus on the “scope” of my studies. For example, to learn about computer science, I needed to learn the knowledge of hardware devices, software programming, controlling, circuitry, networks, etc. However, when I became a postgraduate student, I had to find a certain “direction”, like AI, or network security.
