School of Business and Management


The Doctor of Science in Management (DSM) ITB aims to create a new generation of scholars with expertise in research who are able to contribute their research findings to the development of management science in general. To achieve this goal, we provide graduates with an outstanding and intellectually challenging research environment. At the end of their course of study, it is expected that graduates will not only possess an authoritative knowledge of management science but will also be familiar with relevant analytical tools in such topics as economics, human resources and organizational behaviour, maths, and statistics. The program is also designed with a focus on problem solving, development theory, and business implementations skills. However, the DSM is open to students from social sciences, engineering, and other disciplines Management Science incorporates various disciplines with the aid of which it explains concepts of managing resources (people, methods, machines, and money) to achieve expected organization goals. Consequently, the DSM is suitable not only for those who have a management or economics background, but also for others who have the desire to develop and implement management science in their professional endeavours. The DSM is a Doctoral Program which progresses linearly from the Undergraduate Program, the Graduate Program in Business, and the Graduate Program in Management Science of the School of Business and Management. However, the DSM is open to students from social sciences, engineering, and other disciplines that follow a special pathway known as the Non-Linear Doctoral Program. The DSM offers a 3-year program comprising 6 semesters with 44 credit-hours. . I am an alumni from the school.

Computer Science and Engineering


The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota is a major midwestern center for leading-edge research and top-quality education in computer science and engineering. In addition to offering the only computer and information sciences doctoral program in Minnesota, it plays a major role as a source of talent, graduates and research for the computer industry, locally and beyond. Currently, as one of the largest undergraduate programs in the Institute of Technology, the enrollment in the department includes nearly 660 undergraduate students in computer science, 240 in computer engineering, and 40 from the College of Liberal Arts who declare computer science as their major. We also have around 250 graduate students in computer science; about half of them are working toward their PhD's, and 75 in the master's degree program in computer engineering. We also offer a two-year professional master's degree in software engineering with a total enrollment of around 77 students. The number of faculty members in the department has been steadily increasing. They are not only providing high quality undergraduate and graduate education to the students, but also are immersed in cutting edge research which covers almost all disciplinary areas of computer science and engineering. They include: software engineering, computer graphics, robotics, artificial intelligence, programming languages, database, human-computer interface, internet technologies, bio-informatics, data mining, computer networks, high performance computing, computer architecture, parallel and distributed systems, theory and algorithms, system software, and several other areas. Most of the research funding is from federal and state agencies, and some from industry. The department has a strong industrial partners program with various collaborative projects with its partners. I am an alumni from the department.

Aikido Club, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities


The word Aikido is composed of three Japanese characters (on right, top to bottom): ai, meaning harmony; ki, meaning spirit or energy; and do, meaning way. Making one translation of Aikido 'the way of spiritual harmony.' Like other martial arts Aikido is studied for self-defense and self-improvement. What makes Aikido different from other martial arts is that an Aikidoist develops methods of self-defense that will not injure an attacker. The movements of Aikido harmonize attacks rather than meeting them head-on. Instead of using kicks and punches that could possible seriously injure someone, an Aikidoist learns to use various wristlocks and throws to control attackers. As a result techniques can be practiced at full power without fear of injury. In Aikido there are no competitions, the Aikidoist betters his or her self without belittling others. I was the president of the club.

Wilberforce Academy Fellowship


The heart and soul of Wilberforce Academy’s mission is to mentor college students, especially international students and visiting scholars, to become redemptive change agents, that is, people who want to be used by God to bring the healing, redemptive influence of the Gospel into society and the workplace. Romans 8:19 highlights the urgent need and the great opportunity to intelligently, creatively, courageously, and skillfully apply a Christian worldview to the biggest challenges facing our societies and workplaces: For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. Based upon the example of Jesus Christ, the Wilberforce Academy Fellowship is a two stage program: Stage 1: Mentee Stage 2: Fellow As Mentees, participants engage with the ideas that the Academy teaches. Those who successfully complete the 15-week study program as Mentees will be invited to become Wilberforce Academy Fellows. Academy Fellows, who are also mentored in a customized fashion, carry a mantel of God-given responsibility as Christ-animated redemptive change agents who seek substantial justice, economic prosperity, and overall human flourishing in their home societies and workplaces until Jesus Christ returns. I am a Wilberforce Academy Fellow.
