Congratulations to Chunhui Xu, BSAI/MSAI/BSIS TA! Hui has been accepted to an AI Ph.D. program. His inquisitive mind, hard work and persistence has paid off!

“I am Chunhui Xu, a current Master’s student at CityU. Also, I am a Teaching Assistant (TA) and Research Assistant (RA).

I received an offer of a Ph.D. in Computer Science for Fall 2022 from the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). I am interested in artificial intelligence algorithms and would love to learn more about them. Therefore, I applied for a Ph.D. program. Because of my undergraduate physics major, my research topic may be the application of deep learning in applied physics, such as predicting stellar states, solving particular equations, etc. Moreover, I would love to work in a research direction. If possible, I will be a researcher after my Ph.D.

When I first entered CityU, my initial intention was to work in video games. However, during my learning process at CityU, I was exposed to AI algorithms, and deep learning fascinated me. Therefore, I started to focus on deep learning. To better improve myself, I tried to become a TA. Fortunately, I made it and joined Prof. Radana Dvorak’s group. In addition, I became a RA and joined the HCAI research group she oversaw. With the help of Prof. Radana, my learning skills and research skills have improved a lot. Moreover, my AI knowledge reserve has also reached a certain level. I am grateful for her help, and she is also a recommender for my Ph.D.

This TA job has also familiarized me with working with professors, including Prof. Brain Maeng. I used to handle some course shells with his help. We also had some discussions on AI algorithms. Therefore, I have improved my skills very well. Furthermore, he is one of my Ph.D. recommenders. I am very grateful to him. Dr. Jin Chang, the instructor in my Python course and algorithm course, is my last recommender. I wish to thank him.”
