I am applying to the MAAIES programme to enrich my understanding of AI's societal and moral impacts. The program aligns with my academic background in AI communications and digital arts. As I plan my relocation to Hong Kong, this programme is the ideal environment to explore an emerging field and clarify my career ambitions.
The scholarship is a crucial motivation for me and provides support as I begin my journey in a new city, allowing me to focus solely on my studies and professional exploration without financial concerns.

I fell in love with this master’s programme the moment I came across it. As someone who sees AI as companions and values sci-fi thought experiments, this unique and timely programme speaks directly to my passion for the intersection of AI, Ethics, and Psychology.
In just the first month, I’ve learned so much from the interdisciplinary faculty and my diverse cohort, from an intuitive understanding of how AI works to the ethics of human-AI relationships. The scholarship has greatly eased my family’s financial pressure, allowing me to focus fully on research that is both intellectually rigorous and deeply humane. I’m truly grateful to the department for the generous support and for fostering my academic curiosity.
If you're excited about using Al for good, shaping the future of humanity and Al, and tackling tough questions that don't have easy answers, this programme is perfect for you!

After graduating from MAAIES, I spent two years working as a Research Assistant I across two faculties at HKU, including the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Education. I am now honoured to begin my PhD study at HKU under the supervision of Professor Cecilia Ka Yuk Chan at the Faculty of Education, focusing on how AI is transforming education.
Looking back, I truly appreciate the valuable experiences and wonderful memories I gained from the programme.
MAAIES has been an important part of my academic journey. I was fortunate to meet my supervisor, Professor Rachel Sterken, whose guidance and support have accompanied me throughout my career development and PhD application. I am also grateful for the friendships, encouragement, and inspiration I received from my peers and instructors in our programme.

During my internship at B.S.C. Group Limited, I worked as an IT Business Technology Analyst Trainee, focusing on CRM and ERP system analysis. My role involved leveraging AI and data analysis to optimize internal processes and reduce human errors. I utilized ERP system APIs to develop internal apps aimed at improving workflow efficiency and consulted on process improvements to enhance operational efficiency.
By applying AI algorithms and database management knowledge, I was able to identify and address inefficiencies, ultimately enhancing business performance. This experience allowed me to effectively combine AI with business applications, demonstrating the practical impact of my studies in HKU.
