Peter Hamilton’s Summary
I am a graduate student at UMBC pursuing my Masters degree in Computer Science. I graduated from UMBC in May 2009, obtaining my BS in Computer Science. In the past I have worked as an undergraduate research assistant, UMBC club webmaster, tutor, and class grader. I am currently employed as a TA for the UMBC CSEE Department, working specifically for CMSC 201. I am planning on focusing my Masters work on artificial intelligence, primarily looking at areas of multiagent systems while possibly incorporating aspects of computer graphics.
In the long term, I hope to apply my creativity and puzzle-solving skills in computer science to real world problems. I would (currently) like to work in the fields of space and/or defense technology, though I am not opposed to application development.
