For my senior project, I developed an
open environment web-based murder
mystery game called
 The Neighbors.
I was focused on 
 processing quasar
spectrum from essentially
super massive black
hole objects in the really distant and
early universe.
I prototyped a tool to
collect and record physiological data in
response to different environmental
variables and how they change.
I basically created an app that allows
3D printing users to be able to use
their voice to command a 3D printer.
I sought to develop a machine learning
model that can
basically identify these fundamental
particles called Higgs Bosons.
This group is not satisfied with simply
doing the minimum and expecting the
maximum award for it. They 
give it their all,
and I definitely look forward to the
great accomplishments
and the achievements that 
they are going to have.
I love the grittiness of 
our students, and
the passion with which they take
on these kinds of
broad interdisciplinary projects.
They've learned to learn,
and five years from now, no matter
what the technology
is, half of it'll be useless, but
the other half, and for the rest of their
careers, they'll learn
to pick up anything they
want to do.
They're passionate.
They work hard.
They're creative and so they didn't 
just sit still.
Right. They were engaged and on these
research projects you see
they become experts.
We all came from the same sort of
place and programming skills relatively
and just seeing like
such a cool variety of projects and such
different applications
of like, those skills that you know the
faculty has taught us is
really awesome and I'm really proud to see.
I actually, I watched
all of your videos
and I was like, I know exactly who's
gonna end up presenting at the symposium,
because I was watching you guys present,
and I was like,
yeah no. It's going to be these 
four at least.
So you guys did a really good job. I'm
very proud of all you guys. I think you
guys are going to go
a very long way with all
your skill sets and intuition 
and intellect, so for that I'm
very proud. And for the
faculty, I thank you for
being great with all of
us here, and being great
mentors, and being very open
and communicating with us all and
supporting us. If there's one good thing
to come from all this COVID stuff,
it's that we've been able to see how
dedicated the faculty are
and how much they're willing to put in
to help us learn in classes, and
especially through these projects.
I feel like I'm never satisfied with the
things I produce, but
our projects this semester were just a
fantastic display of our hard work and
dedication to the field.
I'm just so proud of everybody. It's
really, really awesome. It's like making
me like tear up a little bit.
