Alumni Stories

I execute business directions based on research results and use all parameters and literature review from research as the main reference for company decision-making. Highlighting the action research as the strength of DSM program, the method helps me combine theory with the real practice. So, we can execute the professional working framework based on the academic theory. In academic area, I look forward to sharing my knowledge through various seminars and lectures in universities.
