Derrick Ng
Affinity Group Leader - Analytics & Data Science
Hi, I’m Derrick! I am a current MEng student in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department, with a concentration in Data Science. Before this, I had worked at a national laboratory in Singapore where I dabbled in cryptography and machine learning research. Part of my work involved handling, analyzing, and processing huge dirty datasets for model training, as well as devising strategies on how to structure good problems in order to extract the essence of this data. In my free time, I am a tennis and (award) travel enthusiast, and I enjoy optimizing for travel itineraries and points maximization. I obtained my undergraduate degree here at UC Berkeley as a Math major, and now I am excited to embark on this MEng journey and foster a collaborative and engaging community in the Analytics and Data Science affinity group.
