In Their Own Words

From Cubes to Concepts: A Fun Journey Through Mathematics

“Two years ago, I completed my doctoral degree at MIT and later became part of its teaching staff. Since then, I have shouldered greater responsibility in carrying forward the baton passed on from many generations of mathematics educators. I am thankful for having joined MIT first as an undergraduate student and later as a researcher, PhD student, and now as a teacher. I am even more grateful for all my students; every small step they take in learning mathematics serves as significant encouragement to me.”

“My enthusiasm for AI’s potential to transform learning was further ignited while participating in Dr Tiffany Bai Shurui’s research project. This opportunity allowed me to explore the profound impact AI can have on education. Additionally, the solid skills I acquired from Dr Fu Hong’s courses and the personal independent projects I completed under her guidance enabled me to master a strong knowledge of artificial intelligence.”
