I chose UMD for graduate school because I attended UMD as an undergraduate and realized it's the best college in MD to learn as much as possible about Computer Science. I chose Computer Science because computers fascinated me when I was a kid. I was curious about how computers worked and this curiosity developed a great passion to understand as much as possible about computer software. I am a Ph.D. student co-advised by Prof. Hanan Samet and Prof. Dinesh Manocha, with research interests in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics. I have taken many AI related courses and have taken courses throughout my college career to attempt to have a strong background in AI knowledge.
