Computing Sciences Colloquia
Date: 10-13-23Time: 3:00pm
Location: BRN 228, Pearn Auditorium
Details: TITLE: The AI/Machine Learning Blueprint: From Theory to Brain Wave Analysis PRESENTER: Kyle Burrell '19 ABSTRACT: The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the modern world has become the subject of much debate, curiosity, and amazement. Yet there is often a lack of understanding of how these technologies really work, their capabilities/limitations, and the fundamental development workflows that are followed to build these AI systems. This presentation provides a general overview of how AI/ML systems work and how they are developed, including a simple step-by-step tutorial project involving the training of a deep neural network model to classify complex brain signals. In addition, the presentation gives a very basic introduction to the exciting new field of consumer brain analytics using low-cost wearable devices, and demonstrates how the combination of modern AI/ML technology with these consumer brain-scanning wearables can unlock deeper insights into the complex analysis, assessment, and training of brain states/performance. BIO: Kyle Burrell is the founder of Neuralytics AI, LLC, an NEPA-based startup company that is building software platforms that combine consumer brain-scanning wearables with modern artificial intelligence to unlock new levels of performance, cognition, and learning. He graduated from The University of Scranton in 2019 with degrees in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, and holds advanced certificates in both statistics and machine learning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) online learning platform, MITx. After attending The University of Scranton, he spent several years as a lead software engineer and research scientist for a local startup company, where he specialized in the research, design, and implementation of novel machine learning/artificial intelligence systems and applications. He is also a sought-after technical consultant, providing professional services in software engineering, data science, mathematical modeling, and the innovation of novel technology designs to solve real-world problems.

Computing Sciences Colloquia
Date: 9-15-23Time: 3:00pm
Location: BRN 228, Pearn Auditorium
Details: Presenter: Mr. Daniel Ricker, '19 '20G Title: My Experience of Starting to Work at Lockheed Martin Abstract: This presentation is about my experience of interviewing at Lockheed Martin and starting work there. I discuss my experience of onboarding and the environment that I have been working in. I also discuss some of the technologies used at Lockheed Martin and possible experiences that other people could have working at Lockheed Martin. Brief Biography: Daniel Ricker graduated from The University of Scranton in 2019 with a Bachelors degree in Computer Science and then graduated in 2020 with a Masters degree in Software Engineering. He started working at Lockheed Martin in Owego, New York two weeks after graduating with his Masters degree, and has worked there since. Presenter: Mr. Eric Zielinski, '16, '17G Title: "From Classroom to Career " Abstract: After a brief self-introduction, the talk will first discuss the sorts of things I learned during my time at the University of Scranton. In addition to this, I will also discuss the critical thinking and problem solving skills I gained from my time in college that proved helpful in my career. Following this, I will discuss my transition to the workplace, and how the skills I gained in college assisted me in my job. I will then briefly discuss the details of my current position and go over my day to day responsibilities. Brief Biography: Eric Zielinski graduated from the University of Scranton's Computer Science Program. He completed his undergraduate degree in 2016 and received his Master's Degree from the University's 5-Year Graduate Program in 2017. He currently works for the United States Postal Service in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania as a Lead Developer.
