Life in Five Lands: A Journey Through Code and Culture

Hello and welcome! I’m Feiyang, a curious explorer both in the digital and physical realms. This is my corner of the internet where I share my thoughts on technology, travel, and the many intersections in between.

My Journey in Academia and Beyond

After finishing my PhD, I’ve moved into the software industry, serving as a consultant. I completed my PhD project as part of a Marie Curie interdisciplinary EU project called Privacy Matters (PriMa). My academic background is diverse and interdisciplinary:

• Bachelor’s (Hons), University of Auckland, 2019:
  Adaptive Self-Sufficient Itemset Miner for Transactional Data Streams
• Master’s, KU Leuven, 2020:
  Image-text Alignment for Artworks
• Ph.D., Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 2024:
  Analyzing Privacy in Software

Feel free to explore these areas if they catch your interest.

Bridging Disciplines in the Industry

While I’ve pivoted towards the software industry, my love for research, new ideas, and innovation remains steadfast. I find immense value in applying my interdisciplinary knowledge-spanning AI, software engineering, and privacy research—to real-world applications.

A Multicultural Lens

Living in five different countries has given me an intricate understanding of the symbiosis between technology and multiculturalism. I value diversity not just as a cultural asset but as a vital ingredient in technological innovation.

Beyond the Screen

Away from the keyboard, I revel in life’s simpler joys. You’ll often find me perfecting the art of coffee brewing or setting off on solo adventures to discover the world’s hidden treasures.

Museums and Mindfulness

Museums serve as my sanctuary, where I meander through time and art, enriching both my personal and professional perspectives.
