Graduate Profiles
Yoshikazu Hirayama, 2003
PhD student, Department of Electronics
"I am currently a PhD student in the Intelligent Systems Group, researching on intelligent control systems. During the four year MEng course I took as an undergraduate at York, I developed an interest in control and I also felt that the research work in this department offered challenging work.
The first two years of the undergraduate course covered the broad foundations of Electronic Engineering, and provided teaching not only on electronic systems but also on business aspects. The laboratory work and the research work were definitely very beneficial to me, which built up my confidence. In the later years a variety of options were available, which enabled me to extend and enhance the knowledge in my chosen specialised subject areas.
The department is very supportive towards students and has a friendly atmosphere. I enjoy the research work and the life in York and am glad that I have decided to continue studying here."
