What will you miss the most about being here?

There are certain people I’ll mss the most. But I think I’ll miss the rhythm of campus. I’ll miss being in a really tight-knit, supportive community. 

What will you do next?

I’ll be in Delft, in The Netherlands, on a Fulbright.

Congratulations.

Thank you. I’ll be doing research that tries to apply computer science and statistical modeling to urban planning and transit infrastructure planning.

And then will you go to grad school?

I hope to. I’m using this year to see how I like doing independent research and kind of delve more into this subject area, because combining urban planning and computer science is this new interdisciplinary area. I think everyone’s trying to get a sense of what that area of study means. I can use this year to do that as well.
