I am ISINGIZWE Didier Frank (迪迪尔), 27 years old, from Kigali/Rwanda. I come from a family of one little brother and a little sister with our mother. Since I was young I was so passionate about computers and curious to try out new technologies. I used to read many stories about how China’s tech industry is developing super-fast due to the extent Chinese people embrace new technologies, to be more specific in the implementation aspect and I got attracted by the idea of trying out new technologies and implementing them in real life, especially in the field of AI (Artificial Intelligence).
My life in China started at the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) in 2015, where I got admitted as an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science and Technology, I had many expectations about China in general but specifically Beijing Institute in Technology. My university experiences were amazing. I have learned and experienced so many new things like Speaking Chinese, meeting people from different backgrounds, visiting well-known touristic places like the great wall, Sports activities, and other interesting cultural activities. BIT was a very welcoming place, and from the first day, I felt at home.
During my study at BIT, I successfully developed & launched my video Game “RACESCAPE” with the help of everything BIT offers to a Computer Science student, I won 16th place among 3k Codingamers all over the world at the CODINGAME Programming contest. BIT helped me discover my talents by providing different activities that promote talents among Students.
While at BIT, I have been awarded a DISTINGUISHED STUDENT AWARD in the academic year 2015-2016, an EXCELLENT STUDENT AWARD in the academic year of 2016-2017, won the first prize of the Beijing Government Scholarship and I got different opportunities of working with different companies in Beijing in the field of Natural Language processing specifically building Chatbots.
After my study at BIT, I decided to apply to Tsinghua University for my master’s degree in Computer Science because it is among high ranked universities in the world. My university experiences highly contributed a lot to my deep understanding of Artificial Intelligence & Network Security, I received great & professional guidance from Professor Jun Li & Professor Dongsheng Wang in the Network Security research field and I had amazing experiences doing research in the Network Security Lab of Tsinghua University where I worked on many types of research and had a great one-year internship experience working as a network security researcher at NSFOCUS Inc. in Beijing.
During my study at Tsinghua University, I have chosen many classes to maximize my 2 years Master’s program experiences and it was a little bit challenging at first, however, I managed to pass them all on time and I was able to get my research paper to be accepted for publication in the international conference IEEE-ICCT21.
While I was in my last year of my master’s at THU working on my thesis and research, Changhong company approached me for a potential job offer, and I managed to pass all 3+ stages of the interview and came to the conclusion that it will be my next adventure, so, I am currently working full time as a Research Engineer (AI security department) in Changhong Information Security Laboratory, Chengdu, Sichuan.
Time has been flying by so fast; it’s hard to believe that I have been in China for 7 years already. Life in China has been a great experience that I plan ta make the most out of.
