For this week's Incoming Student Spotlight, we have Xavi Murtagh Molina!

📚 Department/Program: Computer Science

At every stage of my life, Xavi's said ""that's it, I'm done with education."" Now doing a 2 year masters degree in a new continent, he's sure that if his younger self saw him now, he'd ask what the hell happened.

Before coming to NYU, Xavi had spent almost hisentire life in London. Now he's here living in New York, in what ""feels like a movie script come to life."" Academically, Xavi describes himself as ""a paradox"" given that he hates studying but love learning. While he can only study one degree, one of his favourite parts of university is speaking to all the different people in his various courses getting to learn a small portion of all the wonderful subjects everyone does.

His interests lie in trying to apply technology to real problems. While in undergrad, he focused his dissertation on predicting a solar farms energy yield. He received an award for the best dissertation in the cohort for it. At the minute Xavi is working on another project looking at solar panels and their usage, alongside various other projects.

ABOUT THE SHOW: When Lucy and her teenage sons Michael and Sam move to town in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging. As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a startling reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.

For our next Incoming Student Spotlight, please give a warm welcome to Alia!

📚 Department/Program: Economics

Originally from Dubai, Alia Wold Ghamail graduated from the University of Warwick in the UK with a BSc (Hons) in Economics, where her interests developed around macroeconomics, international finance, and sustainable economic development. Outside the classroom, Alia served as President of both the International Foundation Programme Society and Warwick Dubai Society, experiences that shaped her interest in leadership and building communities.

Before joining NYU, Alia worked in Financial Markets within the Sales and Trading desk at Standard Chartered Bank, covering macro products including FX, money markets, commodities, and structured derivatives, with a coverage on institutional clients across the MENAP and Turkey regions.

Her academic interests sit at the intersection of macroeconomics and financial markets, particularly monetary policy, international economics, and how macroeconomic developments translate into market outcomes. Alia's undergraduate dissertation explored how sustainable finance can contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals in Africa.

At NYU, Alia is not just looking to deepen my understanding of economics — she's looking to bring what she learn back home. Alia hope to build on my experiences in financial markets and economics to contribute to the UAE’s evolving economic landscape, particularly in areas of economic policy, financial development, and the country’s transition toward a more diversified, knowledge-driven economy.

Happy October from The Master's College 🍂 For this week's Incoming Student Spotlight, we're showcasing Yuliia!

📚 Department/Program: Performance Studies
👤 Instagram: .podlinnik
💻Linktree: linktr.ee/yulialinnik

Yuliia (she/her) is a theatre artist and curator from Ukraine. She started my career working as an actress on theatre projects and has since expanded her expertise into theatre curation. The year before she came to NYU, Yuliia was developing an educational program at the Kyiv National Young Theatre, producing GALA by French choreographer Jérôme Bel, and directing the performance Ophelia and Polonius Meet in the Summerhouse.

Together with her theatre cohort, Yuliia has been running an informal theatre group called Shadow Room, where she explores what theatre could be in a very informal way. The group has created performances based on our own dramaturgy, produced conceptual performative parties, explored the potential of light-projection street shows, and even presented a stage reading of intercepted conversations of corrupt officials.

Currently, Yuliia is developing a publishing house called Nonexistheatre, which will focus on translating and publishing theatre and performance theory in Ukrainian. Because there is a huge lack of these texts in this cultural and educational space, this project is her main practical interest now.

Alumni Outcomes is back! We're thrilled to restart this series by introducing you to Noah Mullenix (he/him)

🖥️ Current Title and Company: Program Administrator, First Year Experience at NYU College of Arts & Science
🎓 Graduation Year and Major: M.A. in East Asian Studies ’21
👤 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noah-mullenix/

Now working as the Program Administrator for NYU’s College of Arts and Science First Year Experience, Noah states that Pursuing a Master’s Degree in a humanities field (East Asian Studies) has allowed him to keep people centered in the work that he does in higher education. With emerging technologies like AI continuing to proliferate, Noah believes that it is more important than ever to apply a critical lens to the world around him and think about how those technologies can impact both humans and the planet we share.

As President of the College of Arts & Science Alumni Association, Noah uses lessons from his CAS and GSAS education to inform inclusive decision-making and set a direction for the Association that will benefit alumni and current students on a daily basis.
