Research Progress
Summer Fun and Stories
Summer 2001 Research
This summer I am doing research at the Georgia Institute of Technology with
Mary Jean Harrold (of
Georgia Tech) and Mary Lou
Soffa (of the University of Pittsburgh) through the CRA Distributed
Mentor Program (DMP). The DMP matches undergraduate women with
women at graduate institutions in computer science to encourage women
to attend grad school in CS&CE. I am a summer member of Dr. Harrold's
research team, the Aristotle Research
Group.
