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!

  1. Should “Survey of the Applications of Arti cial Intelligence Techniques to the Sudoku Puzzle” be hyperlinked?


  2. oops… I meant please hyperlink “Survey of the Applications of Arti cial Intelligence Techniques to the Sudoku Puzzle” in your post.


  3. Actually, I did not intend for it to be linked, but I have now added a link for convenience. The papers are on my CV page.
