“I’ve been interested in computer science which I find challenging yet fun since I was 12. That’s why I want to learn more about this field,” said Amir Rafiq.
“Fortunately, the university accepts undergraduate researchers like me. They don’t even care that I don’t have a degree yet, because what is important to them is the research I’m doing.”
