Why Virtual TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

As AI is still a field that remains largely in academia, I believe the most novel and interesting applications of AI tech will be best experienced in companies at Silicon Valley. As someone passionate about AI/ML, I would love to visit Silicon Valley to see how exactly these companies are bridging the current gap between academia and business to create value for society.

  • Where would you like to visit?

Silicon Valley: Google, Meta, Apple, People.ai, SoundHound, Observe.ai

Starting a business

  • What types of business interest you?

Companies researching new ways of leveraging AI/ML in the product and process innovation.

  • What plans do you have in starting a business?

In the very long run, I hope to start an artificial intelligence firm that applies machine learning algorithms in different fields, overall helping traditional industries find new solutions in solving problems.
