In my first year at PolyU COMP, I have learned a tremendous amount.  While I had some experience with competitive programming in middle school, I did not fully grasp the comprehensive scope of computer science until I entered the classroom at COMP. I was impressed by the dedication of the teaching and academic staff, who consistently went above and beyond to ensure we mastered the concepts. Whenever I had questions, they promptly responded to my enquiries.

The most inspiring experience was participating in the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC). Many fellow students who were also interested in participating in ICPC contacted me, and we took the initiative to form a team. To our delight, Prof. Li Qing discovered our initiative and offered to coach us. I am deeply grateful for the support provided by the professors and the department as a whole, which has been instrumental in my growth and development during this formative year.

After obtaining my bachelor's degree from PolyU, I pursued an MPhil degree at the University of Cambridge. I am currently continuing my PhD studies at Cambridge, focusing on Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models. My studies at PolyU provided me with a solid foundation in Computer Science through various courses and research opportunities, which sparked my interest in language processing and cognitive science.

To me, "Pioneering Possibilities, Powering Potentials" signifies that everyone possesses limitless possibilities and potential. My personal journey reflects this, as I transitioned from a student with no CS background to someone deeply involved in the AI community.
