Hi
I am Zonggen, currently pursuing MSc in Informatics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). I'm fully funded by the Konrad Zuse School of Excellence in Reliable AI (relAI) Scholarship, for this, you can find my profile here. This year, I just graduated at the Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) of Munich in BSc in Computer Science, with a minor in Computational Linguistics. I completed my undergraduate thesis on Deep Learning and Domain Adaptation under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Thomas Seidl. I am currently working as a Student Assistant in the Munich AI & NLP (MaiNLP) Lab for Prof. Dr. Barbara Plank.
In the last application season, I was fortunate to receive admissions to the Advanced Computing program at Imperial College and Oxford. Although I decided to stay in Germany for scholarship, I made many lifelong friends based on this experience. We established the Global CS project together, hoping to provide advice for students applying for CS programs through this website. Welcome to join us!
„Übers endlose Sternenzelt musst du reisen.“ Personally, I find immense fulfillment in engaging with captivating ventures. When dusk settles, even if I don't reach the stars, I can rest assured knowing that I have elevated myself from the earthly plane and made a meaningful contribution to something truly significant.
Whether you'd like to work with me, collaborate on a cool project or something else, feel free to get in touch!
🥨 Btw, perhaps you are interested in the German grading system, which I know can be quite complex. Here, you can try using the tool provided by the TU Munich to convert your grades into the German grading system :)
It should also be noted that both "Computer Science" and "Informatics" correspond to the German word "Informatik", which stands for pure computer science in Germany, but the two Universities use different English translation.
I'm also trying to update my undergraduate course notes in blogs about my major and minor. Hopefully I'll have time to perfect it 😊 (I can't make them public for copyright reasons, LMUers can contact me directly if you need).
