Through an exciting partnership with Duke University that promotes science, 技术, 工程, 和数学(STEM), 存 recently hosted 21 summer interns from Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering. Students had the opportunity to work with 存’s Internal Technology Research and Innovation team, whose mission is to research and experiment with new and novel ideas.

Kunyu Liu and Weichong Zhang were among the interns who worked to solve real-life data questions proposed by internal business partners using technologies such as artificial intelligence, 机器学习, 自然语言处理等等.
存管连接 caught up with Kunyu and Weichong to get their thoughts and takeaways from their experience.
DC:你能介绍一下你自己和你的专业吗?
KL我目前正在杜克大学攻读金融科技硕士学位. Today’s financial industry has been transformed by the recent introduction of both big data and new technologies such as cloud computing, 区块链与人工智能, and Duke FinTech allows me to apply theoretical knowledge into practice and use real-world data. I want to be a part of the development of new technologies in this constantly expanding field of computational analysis. 此外, I am not limited to traditional financial theory as I am eager to keep up with the latest financial approaches.
WZ我目前是杜克大学金融科技专业的研究生. 我的本科学位是数学和计算机科学, but I became interested in financial 技术 because we use these products almost every day. 例如, mobile payment and financial management platforms all make people’s lives more convenient. That’s why I chose Duke’s FinTech program -- it allows me to fill in the gaps in financial knowledge and combine it with computer science to solve real-world financial problems.
DC:你在存的IT内部创新团队实习. What kind of projects did you work on and what were you able to deliver for clients?
KL在存的IT内部创新团队工作是非常棒的! We created a new application programming interface (API) implementation, 使用GraphQL查询方法. We compared different API methods to find out the best one with a high-quality speed-to-retrieval experience. 通过这个API访问, internal clients will be able to request data based on their need at a high speed, 我们允许API返回客户端请求的特定属性. It will give our clients a better experience in viewing and controlling data.
WZ在存实习绝对是一个宝贵的机会. My team and I were responsible for encrypting sensitive financial data using different privacy enhancing cryptography techniques and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of different methods. 最后, we presented a product that can guarantee the accuracy of sensitive data without compromising the accuracy of the data for clients.
DC: How has your experience with Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering positioned you for success in this internship opportunity?
KL: My study experience with Duke Engineering greatly helped my internship. Duke provides us with both technical knowledge and insights for becoming a leader and driver of innovation, 哪些符合这个实习机会. 杜克大学还为我准备了技术, 财务及管理技能, 这个项目成功的关键因素是什么. We gained sufficient knowledge and experience about programming and software 工程 in previous semesters, 除了金融知识. Through this internship we had the opportunity to put them together in practice.
WZ: Duke Engineering brought me more than just finance and coding knowledge. 它教会了我如何快速学习一个新的领域, 如何在团队中高效工作, 培养解决问题的能力. Because most of the project’s content was unfamiliar to us, we needed to learn quickly and apply it. Planned teamwork allowed us to complete each task efficiently and with high quality. 我认为这些因素是成功的关键.
DC: What about the company culture at 存 made your internship memorable?
KL: My experience at 存 was memorable because of the supportive atmosp在这里 and encouraging mentors. The project is brand new in the field and has not been studied deeply before. 在整个过程中, 好奇心驱使我不断探索, 存的期望和指导也激励着我. 每当我们遇到困难或技术问题, 我的导师总是给我支持性的建议, 和我们一起讨论并帮助解决问题. The highly collaborative team culture at 存 helped me feel strongly engaged.
WZ: I was impressed by 存’s innovative company culture and how everyone is treated with respect. We were encouraged to use a variety of methods to solve problems and summarize our own ideas. 我们的主管非常注意我们的建议, and they were very patient in teaching us how to solve the problems we encountered on the project. 他们总是能够建议如何让我们变得更好. Our supervisors didn’t hesitate to give us compliments after we had achieved results. 这使我们对工作充满热情和信心.
DC:你在存学到了什么对你将来有帮助的东西?
KL这是我一生中最重要的学习经历. I learned that asking questions is quite important when we are exploring a new field. Our mentor has much more experience and technical knowledge than us, and the fastest way to grasp a basic understanding is by discussing topics with the professionals and practitioners. I also gained a deeper understanding of the emerging financial technologies and how they create value in this industry. It is the first time for me to employ new technologies in financial services, 这很令人兴奋. 我对自己的专业兴趣和未来的职业有了更清晰的认识!
WZ除各种数据处理方法外, I also learned how to create a report specifically for presenting to clients. It was different from any of the reports I had developed previously. I realized we should first think about the ultimate goal of our clients as that’s what is the most effective way to accomplish a goal with the highest quality. Understanding this approach will help me a lot in my future career.
