I just posted a library in my gitlab repository which runs a mailmerge program on our jupyterhub server here at MSU. I use this every week to improve a lot of my email workflows from sending feedback to students to emailing different groups weekly reports. I like that it just …

I am excited to say that I got to rejoin ICER and am now helping lead the User Support Team.

Singularity is a versitle tool to give researchers more flexibility installing software and running their workflows on the HPC. I am figuring out singularity for my own research, to better use the Open Science Grid and hopefully to help other people on the HPCC.

Most workflows don't need singilarity but …

Matrix Algebra with Computational Applications is a collection of Open Educational Resource (OER) materials designed to introduce students to the use of Linear Algebra to solve real-world problems. These materials were developed specifically for students and instructors working in a "flipped classroom" model that emphasizes hands-on problem-solving activities during class …

Nicholas Grabill, Kai Pinckard and I presented our most recent work on the SEE-Segment Project at the IEEE HPEC Converence. This is work that both students conducted during the summer of 2020 as part of the XSEDE Empower program.

Scaling of Evolutionary Search of Algorithm Space to Speed-Up Scientific ImageUnderstanding …

As we move online I have been experimenting with Open Broadcast Software (OBS Studio) as a way to improve my video input while I am in meetings and conducting lectures.

Although it had a small learning curve and often produces a lag between the audio and video; I really like …

In the summer of 2021 Davin Lin worked with me as part of the ICER/ACERS REu program on his project titled "Simple Evolutionary Exploration in Classification Algorithms for Supervised Learning"

Genetic algorithms (GAs) find good solutions to search problems through a process inspired by evolution. Solutions are randomly selected …

In the summer of 2021 Nate Britton worked with me as project titled "Reexamining Transfer Learning Image Segmentation Hypothesis by Scaling Up"

Image segmentation is a process in which an image is separated into foreground (areas of interest) and background regions. Image segmentation is used as a first step in …

I was asked to give an second of two "effective presentation" tutorials to a group of REU students at Texas A&M. This second part covers how to make an effective presentation with a focus on scientific introductions. I pulled heavily from the CCQH method described here:
