So Where Have I Been?
Filed Under (Research) by Robert Green on 05-01-2010
To my very own surprise I have not written a post since November! How crazy is that! The main reason of this has been the utter business of pursuing my PhD. What a crazy semester it was! So what have I accomplished in this first semester? It can be divided into 3 sections: Classes, Projects, and Papers.
As for classes, I completed two: Artificial Intelligence and The Smart Grid. Both were highly interesting courses and the hard work paid off as well – I received an A- and an A in the courses! The Artificial Intelligence course was very interesting and covered a vast amount of AI topics. The class was taught by Dr. Gursel Serpen. The Smart Grid class was taught by my own advisor, Dr. Lingfeng Wang, and was a very solid and thorough introduction to alternative energy systems and the smart grid.
Projects and Papers have a bit of an overlap. I have posted my AI paper here – “Survey of the Applications of Arti cial Intelligence Techniques to the Sudoku Puzzle” – but I will not be posting my other 3 papers until I am aware of their submission status.
Through the entire semester I learned a lot. During the coming semester I will be working with biologically inspired computing techniques, optimization, the smart grid, and high performance computing. I’ll keep you all updated!
