Hello there! My name is Derek Ng, and I am an undergraduate student at
Northeastern University majoring in cybersecurity
and minoring in mathematics. You can find more information about my academic life on the
Academics page.
Outside of academics, I love playing piano. I have been playing piano since August 2007. I created a
website for my piano teacher that has some recordings of
me playing. This YouTube channel
also has those recordings. Some of my favorite pieces to play include Beethoven's Third Movement of the Moonlight
Sonata and Grieg's Wedding Day at Troldhaugen.
I also love swimming and running. I have been swimming since as long as I can remember. I have swam on multiple
teams including my high school's varisity team. My favorite events are the 100 breaststroke and the 500 freestyle.
I began running by joining my school's cross country team during sophomore year in high school. Before that, I had
never ran over a mile, but after some practice, I was able to run the full 5K. Being at Northeastern, it is very fun
to run to different places around Boston and the surrounding cities.
Other random things I like include: the colors blue and orange, looking at maps, looking at buildings (especially
skyscrapers), and dim sum.
