About me

Hi everyone! I'm Gwen from Hong Kong, studying M.A. in Data and Discourse Studies. This is an interesting interdisciplinary subject which combines data analysis with humanities. The programme is innovative and visionary because such skills will be in high demand in the future. More importantly, TU Darmstadt is the only university offering such programme worldwide! That's why I'm here!
