**Professional:** I started my PhD program back in August 2021.
|
|
So far, I've met many wonderful people including
|
|
but not limited to the folks at the RAIR lab which
|
|
I'm now a part of.
|
|
|
|
For my first two semesters I was a teaching assistant.
|
|
The first was Introduction to Computer Science and the
|
|
second was Principles of Software.
|
|
Both of these classes had what I would consider a large amount
|
|
of students (> 300), which meant that there were multiple TAs
|
|
splitting the class into smaller lab/recitation sections.
|
|
Honestly those labs and recitations were the best part of the TAing experience.
|
|
|
|
In Summer 2022, I will be at IBM Research in Yorktown Heights, NY.
|
|
I'm looking forward to having more research dedicated time.
|
|
|
|
**Personal Life:** Living in Upstate NY, this is the coldest winter I've been through.
|
|
There are many of you in far colder places, but I was not mentally prepared for the
|
|
constant 15 degrees Fahrenheit weather.
|
|
What helped keep me warm:
|
|
- Window Insulator Kit (lowers the amount of heat escape)
|
|
- Thermal underlayers (top and bottom)
|
|
- Soup (Nice and warm)
|
|
- Heated Blanket (much cheaper than a space heater)
|
|
- Snow spikes (for hiking in the winter)
|
|
|
|
Now that we're approaching summer again,
|
|
I look forward to going on more hikes.
