My decision to study a second career in Computer Science can be summarized as pursuing my passions of investigating computer systems and astronomy in order to contribute to knowledge and potentially make discoveries. Since childhood, the applicant has been fascinated by computers and space. They developed programming skills and did a school project on waste collection as well as dreaming of making astronomical discoveries. Now with knowledge of algorithms and AI, the applicant wants to study Computer Science, particularly astroinformatics, to achieve career goals linking these interests. This scholarship would support the applicant's interdisciplinary research goals as well as cultural diversity as someone from Peru living in the UK with experience volunteering and representing their university.

My decision to study a second career in Computer Science can be summarized in a
personal mission: to investigate in order to contribute to the knowledge of society. Since I was a child I had an innate affinity for computer systems, in my native Peru I finished a technical course in graphic design, networking and assembly when I was twelve years old. Time passed and I learned some programming, I was so fascinated that I translated this new passion into a final project in the IB technology area, developing a system that raised awareness among the population of my school about throwing waste on the floor (a kind of waste collection robot). Meanwhile, another passion I had since I was a child was my enormous curiosity for the stars and space; as I grew up, I questioned and wondered what it would be like to discover something out there that would have such transcendence and that my name would be in the discovery. Time went by and as much as I wanted to pursue a career that somehow linked the two fields, I was unable to find anything similar, and the dream seemed farther and farther away. Finishing my economics degree, I read the new news about the James Webb, which brought my childhood dreams back to me, that passion that encompassed: my interest in doing research, programming and astronomy. Nowadays, I already had a bit more programming knowledge (after doing a thesis using Python extensively as an econometric data analysis tool); so, I knew about the existence of new algorithms and AI. However, when I discover the "astroinformatics" make me take the decision to finally study Computer Science to accomplish my goals. This scholarship not only eases the financial burden on my family that is of humble condition, but also gives me the opportunity to strengthen my skills in computer systems and achieve other extracurricular goals within the university. This support would allow and motivate me to pursue interdisciplinary research in the fields I have already highlighted. I feel that I can bring cultural diversity to the cohort because, having lived in Peru and the UK, I am a much more open-minded and empathetic person. I have volunteered in teaching young people and children in different courses (especially mathematics). Likewise, I am a proactive and well-rounded student, I was awarded a scholarship by my university (NTU) for good academic performance. At NTU I also belonged to the university's soccer club, represented in the UK university gaming league and promoted cultural exchange by collaborating in teaching Spanish. In addition, I served as secretary of the university's Latin American society. The university represents my philosophy, I also want to contribute to world-changing discoveries. I have received recognition for a thesis with a grade of 85%, I want to repeat that, I want to do research, but in the fields that really fascinate me, and I will not achieve that without the support of this scholarship. I hope you can help me to fulfill this dream.
