Wooster, Oh, Us

I helped supervise and answer questions during lab sessions twice a week. I held office hours to allow students to come and ask me questions, and I also assisted with teaching classes.

Wooster, Oh, Us

I attended The College of Wooster from 2011 to 2015 and received a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Mathematics. I graduated Magna Cum Laude, received Honors on my Senior Independent Study Research Thesis, and was awarded departmental honors from both the Computer Science and Mathematics departments.

Raleigh, North Carolina, Us

I was part of a small team that worked in the CIIGAR Lab at NCSU on the development of an Android application entitled "Draw This!" "Draw This!" is a single player game that requires a user to draw a specific object when prompted with either an image or text. Players receive a score for their drawing based on how similar it is to a selected reference image. My responsibilities included the development and design of the game portion of the application and the research and implementation of the scoring algorithm which used trained neural networks that recognized specific objects. "Draw This!" was currently still in development at the time of my departure.

Akron, Oh, Us

I worked as part of a small team whose job was to reduce the run time of Goodyear's Multi-Performance Optimization (MPO) tool as part of The College of Wooster's Applied Mathematics Research Experience (AMRE). The tool was written in MATLAB, Visual Basic, FORTRAN, and Microsoft Excel, where Microsoft Excel acted as a front-end for data manipulation and organization, while MATLAB was used to carry out the optimization process. The team analyzed thousands of lines of sparsely commented code written in multiple programming languages in order to understand how the program worked and to determine where bottlenecks were occurring. Overall, we were very successful and achieved a 35% percent increase in speed. We also offered multiple ideas for possible future enhancements to the program.
