Meet Parisa Piran, a current Master's degree student at the University of Turku and an UTUambassador 2023-2024!
"Hi! This is Parisa :)
I'm a second-year master's student in Data Analytics, studying Software Technology as my minor. Currently, I am working as a research assistant at the University of Turku using Transformer Neural Networks to predict the properties of materials. Additionally, I will use this research to support my thesis content. My research has been a thrilling journey so far. Being able to integrate and work with two research groups (Material and Computer) was not easy and there was much to learn in both fields, but receiving first baselines and results was truly rewarding.
My master’s in Data Analytics Program (MDP) at UTU is truly a Pandora's box of exciting intellectual challenges and groundbreaking knowledge. It stands out primarily for its innovative blend of Data Analytics and many other majors such as Material Engineering, Business Management, etc. The richness of our curriculum is especially shown by the hands-on experiences and real-life projects that enable students to develop a problem-solving mindset from day one.
As a 24-year-old student, my goal in life is to LIVE, ENJOY and EXPERIENCE. There are so many places to see and so many lessons to learn. I have a bucket list of places where I would like to travel to before reaching my 30s and I am eager to cross them one by one. I am also planning to pursue my PhD and dive even deeper in the field of Data Analytics. I am determined to make the most of my life and to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way. I am ready to take on the world and to make my dreams come true.
Feel free to ask me questions about my time in Finland or my studies on any social media!"
