Master of Math - Coursework option
Was
your
undergraduate
in
CS?
If
not,
what
did
you
study?
I
hold
a
Bachelor
of
Technology
in
Information
and
Communication
Technology
(ICT)
from
India
but
my
major
was
in
Computer
Science.
Why
did
you
choose
graduate
studies
and
why
did
you
choose
graduate
studies
in
CS?
I
wanted
to
explore
certain
areas
in
CS
such
as
information
security,
machine
learning
in
detail
which
motivated
me
to
apply
for
graduate
studies.
What
is
your
research
area
and
why
did
you
choose
it?
I
am
not
involved
in
a
research
project
as
I
am
in
the
coursework
program
at
the
University
of
Waterloo.
However,
my
areas
of
interests
are
human-computer
interaction,
information
security
and
privacy.
Who
is
your
supervisor
and
why
did
you
choose
to
work
with
him/her?
Since
I
am
in
the
coursework
program,
I
don't
have
a
supervisor
currently.
Why
did
you
choose
Waterloo
for
graduate
studies?
If
you
did
your
undergraduate
at
Waterloo,
why
did
you
stay?
Since
UWaterloo
is
highly
reputed
for
its
Computer
Science
program,
it
was
always
on
my
top
five
universities
list
I
wanted
to
do
my
graduate
studies
at.
Also
since
I
was
highly
inspired
by
the
research
work
being
done
by
the
Cryptography,
Security
and
Privacy
(CRYSP)
group
at
UWaterloo,
I
wanted
to
come
to
UWaterloo
and
get
an
opportunity
to
work
with
the
group.
What
sort
of
research/projects
are
you
working
on?
As
part
of
a
HCI
course
which
I
took
in
fall
2014,
I
worked
on
developing
a
crowd-sourcing
platform
to
identify
plagiarism
across
languages.
I
am
still
working
on
improving
the
performance
of
the
system
and
evaluating
the
results.
What
classes
are
you
taking?
What
has
been
your
favourite
class
so
far?
I
took
a
600-level
course
on
introduction
to
artificial
intelligence
in
fall
2014
and
it
was
a
learning
experience
for
me
as
it
was
my
first
course
in
the
area
of
artificial
intelligence
and
machine
learning.
I
am
taking
a
course
on
cryptography
and
network
security
in
winter
2015
which
is
being
taught
by
Professor
D.
Stinson
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
it.
