James
University of Warwick
Biochemistry (MBio)
I studied Biology, chemistry, maths and french for A levels and chose to do biochemistry at Warwick because of the opportunity to complete a paid research placement and complete your masters at the same time. I also love the campus vibes and felt very at home when I first visited.
I am passionate about research, especially in the field of antimicrobial resistance. In the summer I will be conducting a research project using AlphaFold to model the Enzymes involved in the production of a gram-negative enterobacterial cell surface protein called the O-antigen polysaccharide. The aim of the research is to build more accurate 3D models of the enzymes involved and test different ligands to see if they can act as inhibitors. These can then be tested for the ability to form novel antibiotics.
My career ambitions are not that clear to me yet. After my Industrial Masters I would I may want to go into a research role. However, I also have a passion for finance, so I am currently gaining experience in this industry alongside my degree so to have as many options as possible for the future.

Management of Information Systems and Digital Innovation (MSc)
I grew up in a vibrant city along the Yangtze River in central-southern China, where I developed a strong interest in finance and technology. After earning my degree in Accounting, I worked at China Merchants Bank, the largest joint-stock commercial bank in China, gaining experience in fintech, credit analysis, and risk assessment.
Now, as a postgraduate student at Warwick Business School, I am exploring the intersection of digital innovation, AI, and business transformation. I am particularly passionate about AI-generated visuals and AI voice synthesis, having followed the field since the early Disco Diffusion era. I also love exploring emerging technologies and own VR devices, AR equipment, and AI-powered smart glasses, constantly experimenting with new innovations.
Beyond technology, I am a poetry enthusiast, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, William Blake, and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Their works fuel my creativity and curiosity.
Looking ahead, I hope to pursue a career at the intersection of AI, fintech, and digital transformation, leveraging emerging technologies to drive innovation in business. If you're curious about studying at WBS, passionate about technology, or just want to chat about AI and poetry, feel free to connect!
