The world of computers is growing at an un-recordable rate everyday, computers are the most influential tools in our lives, they are our present and future. In my opinion nothing on the planet can measure the exponential growth and excitement in the computing industry.
When I began my undergraduate career, I was accepted in Office of Naval research program. This program provided me with remote sensing training, career development seminars, and graduate school preparation. In addition, the program exposed me to various research opportunities, all of which tended to reinforce and solidify my intense interest in computer science. I've also had the opportunity to perform research projects that incorporates remote sensing .This experience has given me a different perspective on the world in which we live.
In 2005-2006 academic year, I participated in the Undergraduate Research Experience at Elizabeth City State University led by Dr. Linda B. Hayden. I conducted a project using Linux based program called "Ubunutu” .The project entitled " Using a passive network discovery to fingerprint vulnerabilities within Ethernet broadcast frames " was to increase awareness of vulnerabilities effecting NIA server . In the summer of 2006, I participated in the Undergraduate Research Experience through CReSIS (Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets) at the University of Kansas. The objective of my project at CReSIS was to process the airborne measurements of snow thickness over ice, using data compiled from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer onboard NASA’s Aqua satellite.
I believe that furthering my education at a university would offer me the opportunity to gain extra knowledge and present me with the tools to supplement my research. Of course, my plans following completion of my current studies are to move directly into graduate work toward my master's in science. After I earn my master's degree, I intend to start work on my Ph.D. in computer science. Later I would like to work in the area of research and development for private industry. It is in Research & Development that I believe I can make the greatest contribution, utilizing my theoretical background and creativity as a scientist.
