Queensland University of Technology
Stephen Dang is an undergraduate student in the Bachelor of Data Science (Dean’s Scholar) program at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), majoring in Statistics and Machine Learning. He currently holds a GPA of 6.675/7.000, reflecting consistent high achievement across advanced mathematics, statistical modelling, and computational analytics units.
Stephen has developed a strong interest in simulation-based inference, Bayesian methods, and statistical learning, motivated by their applications to complex real-world problems in climate science and economics. He has previously undertaken research projects under QUT’s Vacation Research Experience Scheme (2024/2025) and Mid-Year Research Experience Scheme (2025), where he worked on topics involving coral reef health modelling and climate–economy interactions. These experiences strengthened his skills in R, Python, and Bayesian computation, and sparked his enthusiasm for research at the intersection of statistics and artificial intelligence.
Alongside his academic pursuits, Stephen is involved in applied data analytics projects in the education technology sector, where he designs and evaluates large-scale digital learning analytics systems. This professional experience complements his research interests, particularly in developing data-driven models that connect theoretical inference with real-world decision-making.
