Man, I have been waiting for nearly a year to write this post! I’m thrilled to announce that I am the West Point PI on the Collaborative Research Grant entitled, “Collaborative Research: CSinParallel: Experiential Learning of Parallel and Distributed Computing Through Sight, Sound, and Touch”. While I have been part of the CsinParallel leadership team since 2015, this is the first time I am participating as a PI! I am really excited about this award (especially since it is my first NSF grant), and looking forward to working with the CSinParallel team on this new endeavour!

On March 22, I was invited to give a talk at Skidmore College! My 60-minute talk, “Maximizing Computing with Minimal Hardware”, discussed how single board computers can be used for data analysis and education. The talk was attended by approximately 40 students and faculty from the department of computer science at Skidmore College. There were so many wonderful students there and I got some really great questions! I also had the opportunity to have lunch with some of the great ladies majoring in computing at Skidmore.

What a week! On January 31 to February 1st, West Point hosted the inaugural Jean Bartik Computing Symposium. The goal of the symposium is to bring women and minorities in computing at the service academies together with their counterparts in government. This 1.5 event is filled with mentorship, inspiration and hands-on technical workshops that prepares our students for careers in service to the Nation. Our inaugural symposium had 80 attendees, including 50 students from West Point, the U.

I’m in a state of shock… I was just notified today that I just won the ASEE Engineering Research Council’s Curtis W. Mcgraw Research Award in the non-PhD granting program category! I will be receiving the award at the ASEE ERC’s annual business meeting in March.
This award means a lot to me. I was selected as a McGraw-Hill national merit scholar my senior year of high school. It’s amazing to receive an award as an associate professor that is named after one of the founders of McGraw-Hill, a company I credit with giving me one of the most valuable scholarships I received as an undergrad.

Last week, I was invited to give a talk at the Rochester Institute of Technology on October 5th, 2018. My 55 minute talk, “Leveraging Single Board Computers for Low-Energy Computing” discussed the burgeoning nature of data and how single board computers can play a valuable role in edge environments by assisting with localized data analysis. My talk was attended by approximately 80 students and faculty in the departments of computer engineering and electrical engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
