Graduate Research

As a student in the Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) program, you may participate in research opportunities as part of your program requirements. The work will be done in collaboration and mentorship by a faculty and typically spans two quarters.

My interest for this project came after taking the Artificial Intelligence class. I wanted to learn more about the NEAT and other Neural Network algorithms. Learning and implementing those algorithms has been a fun and rewarding experience. Professor Li has given me helpful advice throughout the project while allowing me to learn and implement the project myself.
