What is the focus of your research as part of the Undergraduate Research Fellows Program?     Optimization of Ray Tracing Processes using a Multithread Approach for Telecommunication Transmission Environments.

What do you enjoy most about conducting undergraduate research?

I really enjoyed trying to plan out a lot of the design. It took a while to figure out how to create a flexible system that could cover all of the possible interactions in a variety of environment. Every problem was a fun challenge.

What are your future academic and professional plans?

At the moment I plan to go into industry for a few years. I might return to grad school after that so I can have a stronger base and work on more communications challenges.
