Ng Yi Zee - AY21/22 Semester 2
I’ve always been interested in UROP since I matriculated. So in year 2 I found a bunch of friends who were also interested in the programme and we approached a professor. Professor He Qian let us choose from the various projects he had at hand and we were assigned PhD supervisors.
Throughout the semester we were to work closely with our supervisors and work out our schedules to visit the lab and do experiments. I would recommend a more lab based project instead of a programming or data analytics project since my peers who did a more coding based project did not get as much assistance from their PhD supervisors.
Being in the lab, I’ve also learnt many useful skills and for students who are considering doing masters or PhD, it’s a good opportunity to talk to the PhD students to find out more. Overall it was a fulfilling experience and did not take up as much time as I thought it would. It’s a CS/CU mod and you have the choice of taking 4mc or 8mc. I highly recommend students interested to give the program a try, it’ll prove to be a fun and fulfilling experience.
