Experience

CUDA and GPU Research Center

Participant August - December 2014

The CUDA and GPU Research Center is a joint effort between the University of Georgia and NVIDIA Corporation that offers workshops to expose students to CUDA, NVIDIA's proprietary C-library for GPUs. In Fall 2014, I spent each week learning about the CUDA language and received instruction on how to use it to interact between the CPU and GPU.

Data Quality VoIP vs Cellular 3G

Scientific Research Paper January - May 2010

As part of a senior project, I interned at a local telecommunications company and began researching how voice data is transmitted over various data networks, specifically TCP/IP and 3rd Generation, or 3G, cellular data networks. This data was compared to the quality of voice data transmitted through a land-line phone network. Popular VoIP programs like Skype were used to meter transmission quality and efficiency, and these were compared to an iPhone 3GS over its 3G network. After my research was completed, I present this information to a panel that included local business leaders as well as state and local representatives.
