DAC Student Spotlight: Moeti Masiane

Moeti Masiane, DAC Ph.D. student in computer science
Moeti Masiane’s initial interest in analyzing data grew even stronger when earning a bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of the District of Columbia and then a master’s degree from Norfolk State University.
As he began to consider going on to a Ph.D. program in the same field, he was drawn to Virginia Tech and the Discovery Analytics Center. “The expert DAC faculty really made me want to be part of the team,” said Masiane, who is advised by Chris North.
He has been at DAC since 2016, where, he said, “I am surrounded by talented faculty and students who are always willing to suggest new ways of solving data analysis-related challenges.”
