## Expedited Learning via Interactive Demonstrations
On December 4, 2019, I gave a defense on my honors research in the incorporation of demonstration data throughout a reinforcement learning algorithm. I have shown that this technique expedites the learning process.
In June 2019, Stefano Coronado and I were volunteered to give a talk at the Fredericksburg Linux Users group on our experiences building a Beowulf cluster for our University.
## Embezzlement of Parking Meter Funds: A Computational Approach to Hypothesis Testing
I was invited to give a talk to the Data Science Group at the University of Mary Washington called the Data Mavens. It was a 25 minute presentation on the bootstrap resampling technique with code on how to get started.
