I worked on an NSF-funded research project under the direction of Dr. Zongming Fei and Dr. James Griffioen in the Department of Computer Science. I worked alongside other researchers to test the implementation of a Software-Defined Network within the campus network.- Worked with two other undergraduate researchers to build file storage server and clients that communicate between independent UNIX environments using C/C++.- Ran upload and download speed tests between campus network locations using rclone to determine performance increases from the Software-Defined Network.- Used Wireshark to analyze packet flows to interpret how cloud storage applications (e.g. Google Drive) dynamically use IP addresses in DNS responses and subsequent TCP file transfers.- Helped write a server and client interface using Python to transfer files from the client to a server, and finally to a remote cloud storage application. This was to improve outbound campus data transfer speeds.

I worked with other computer science students to continue development of the team's data analysis program. The program receives radio data from the solar car, calculates useful information from this data, and displays the data in charts and graphs. I re-worked the user interface by implementing graphs in the Java Swing library that plot data coming in from the solar car. I also worked with the other groups within the team to meet deadlines and created a user-friendly interface that any team member can operate.
