Summary
I am a senior in Computer Science at Colorado State University.
I am interested in combining computers and images as powerful tools to meet peoples' needs and, I plan to pursue this interest in graduate school.
Long Version
I am just finishing my second bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at Colorado
State University; my first bachelor’s degree is in Art History. In the fall, I
will be a graduate student at Colorado State with a teaching assistantship. I
am very excited about my teaching assistantship because, after working as a
student tutor, I think I enjoy teaching and this will give me a real opportunity
to try it out. I am trying to decide between working in industry or academia
so, this summer I am experiencing research with the DMP program, in the fall and
spring I will experience teaching, and next summer I plan to seek an industry
internship.
From Art History to Computer Science
I am interested in how people produce, use, and respond to images. Art History
obviously satisfies this interest; Computer Science does as well. Computers and
images are combined to aid in data interpretation, teaching, biomedical imaging,
and in computer use (graphical user interfaces). I want to combine computers
and images as powerful tools to meet peoples' needs.
