Hi! My name is Chigozie Ofodike and I am currently a senior at Kean University where I study computer science with an emphasis on data science. My past research has been on object detection and tracking with the help of computer vision and the applications of these technologies. Some use cases are determining if a parking spot is filled or not, detecting people in an image, then determining the distance between them for a social distancing calculator. This summer I am excited to say that I will be working under Dr. Artur Dubrawski in the Auton Lab. After my first experience with the RISS program, I became enthralled by the work happening here so much that I hope to pursue an advanced degree from CMU. At this stage, I am sure I want a degree but I am quite unsure of what I would like to focus on. My goal this time around is to explore deeply the programs available.
