My
first week here at Brown I was introduced to the other members of the
lab and assigned a work desk and computer, along with the robots and
tools I’ll be working with this summer.   My
mentor, Dr. Jenkins and I went out to dinner with his family @
Antonio's Pizza, to further discuss my role here at Brown this summer,
and the projects he had in mind for me to work on and his desired goals
for my research this summer. He gave me a brief summary of his
educational history and gave me pointers for my own academic journey. He
also familiarized me with my surrounding area and gave me a bit of
history on the city of Providence and the state of Rhode Island.  |
