Sharing from Students
Mr. CHEUNG Ka Ho worked under the supervision of Prof. K.M. Tsang during the summer term in 2017.
"I am grateful that I stood a chance to work under the supervision of Prof. K.M. Tsang. To begin with, it is the first time for me to learn the concepts in number theory. Thought I only studied a little of the article, it provided me a new vision to study Mathematics. Moreover, through this internship experience, I got the opportunity to be exposed under a simulated working environment."
Mr. GAN Guo Liang worked at AECOM during the summer term in 2015.
"I am grateful that I had the opportunity to work in the transport planning division in AECOM, Hong Kong. Firstly, I get to understand the underlying mathematical approaches in transport planning, which provides me great insight about the application of mathematics. Secondly, I get to experience the development of a large scale project in a consulting firm. Moreover, I am glad that I am exposed to the work and corporate culture of a large multinational corporation. This helps to prepare my future career in various aspects such as socializing and collaborating with people of different backgrounds."
Epilogues from Employers/Supervisors
"Learn how to use the 3D printer to print some mathematical models. Also learn how to revise the existing codes"
"Studied a simple one dimensional cardiology model and developed a numerical code to do simulation!"
"The student worked in tandem with another undergraduate visitor from IIT- Roorkee to generalize a recent result of the supervisor and Dr. Anna Haensch about quadratic polynomials and modular forms. Some aspects were generalized with great breadth, while others were investigated in a deep manner."
