Yuanhung Liu (Lewis), ChinaBachelor of Computing

“I chose to come to the University of Tasmania (UTAS) to study because it offers a Human Interface Technology Lab – one of only three in the world. I wanted the opportunity to learn about cutting edge technology and the chance to explore some of the uncharted territory in the area.”
