The People I Met This Summer....

This is a picture of Sarah, Jessamy and myself. All three of us were a part of the Distributed Mentor Project. Sarah and Jessamy worked one floor below me in the AI and Robotics lab with Dr. Gini. We ate lunch together often and I got to know them pretty well.

This is a picture of Haleh and me. It was great getting to know her during the summer and to work with her on the project.

People from the lab that I got to know:

• Haleh -- she's the grad student whose project I was assigned to. She was wonderful to me all summer. Explaining, answering questions, helping me with my problems. Thanks.
• Tim -- he also was a great help. He always let Nate and I borrow his wonderful little C book. He's always willing to help and listen to frustrations, offering any suggestions he could.
• Nate -- he was the other "non grad student" in the lab with me. He was part of the EE/CS REU program at the U of Minn. It was nice to be able to discuss with each other the progress that had been made is our projects and suggest ideas when stuck.
• Mihn -- another grad student who was often in the lab
• Many others who came in and out every day and joined us sometimes on our dinner outings

Pictures from the Lab

These are some pictures that Nate took one day using a friend's digital camera (Mike from EE/CS REU program). Thanks for letting me use some of the pics!

Other Pictures

This is a picture from the Women in CS lunch we had with female CS professors, graduate students, and undergraduate students that were around for the summer.(Note the men in the picture came to the picture because they were curious about the issues facing women in the computer science field -- and maybe for the free food also)

This is a picture of the group eating lunch in the cafeteria. Our lunches tended to be accompanied by random and unusual conversations which were great fun.
