I'm a first-year PhD. Student in the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I'm doing research with the Contextual Computing Group (aka the wearable computing group), working on the Gesture Panel (a gesture-recognition system for automobiles) and the ASL one-way translator (a wearable sign-language to speech system) projects. I'm also doing research with the BORG Lab, working on sensorless networks for cooperative multi-robot tasks.
I work at Maui Community College and I am what they call Institutional Support. I'm to provide data (from UH Banner and other databases) and data analysis to vocational ed instructors and counselors so that they may use the data when it comes to Carl Perkins performance standards. Projects range from writing queries to doing PC hardware/software installation and maintenance.
"The thing is," Maly says, "I knew that the education we got at UH-Hilo was much better than what people on the outside might think. I have friends who went to other colleges and were in their computer science programs, and we were covering things that they didn't even touch, so I knew going through that we were getting a very high-quality education. I knew that in applying for a job, we would be competing with people who graduated from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and University of Washington."
