2020-07-31: Sami Uddin (Computer Science Masters Student)

Hello everyone! My name is Sami Uddin (you can call me Rayan!) and I am a member of the Web Science and Digital Libraries (WS-DL) research group at Old Dominion University (ODU). I have joined ODU in Spring 2020 as a Masters student in the Department of Computer Science . Also, I am currently working with Dr. Vikas G Ashok and exploring the field of web accessibility for people with visual impairment. My first semester here has elapsed pretty quickly. I took CS 595-Intro to Machine Learning where I learned about various machine learning algorithms and techniques on both supervised and unsupervised learning problems. In addition to that as the course project, Dr. Sun involved me in one of his projects which gave me the taste of working in the field of bioinformatics. Besides, I had a chance to take CS 665-Computer Architecture , taught by Dr. Olariu which enriched my knowledge in hardware and their functionalities, pipelining, parallelism and scheduling, and memory hierarchy
