Studying Computer Science and Business has given me the edge to come up with viable business models for technology solutions.
Taking part in the Airbus Japan Business Project, I worked with Aerospace Engineering students to design business models for airlines. We also had the opportunity to visit the Airbus office and learn more about application of technology in aviation.
In addition, I am a participant of the JAXA Satellite Design Contest and the Nikkei Stock League (a virtual stock market competition). Because of the programme, I'm able to enjoy a fruitful university life and live it to the fullest.
