[abgoldberg]

Desired field of graduate study: Ph.D. in Computer Science

Research interests: AI--more specifically information retrieval, knowledge rep, and automated reasoning on the Web; also interested in robotics.

Degree: B.A. Computer Science

Undergraduate School: Amherst College ('03)

CS GPA: 4.0/4.0
Cum. GPA: 3.93/4.0

GRE: 790 Q, 640 V, 6 AW

Research: Senior thesis (with distinction) researching genetic algorithms applied to sports scheduling. I also did two other independent research projects (expert systems and genetic algorithms/A-life robotic simulation)

Professional experience: Since graduation, I've been working for Deitel & Associates, writing and editing college-level CS textbooks, like Java How to Program and C++ How to Program. I'm a co-author on one book--Internet & WWW How to Program. During college, I had summer internships at Microsoft and Prodigy Internet (two different internships).

Publications: Thesis (but not submitted to any journals); Textbook:
Internet & WWW How to Program, 3/e (with Deitel & Deitel).

SOP: I think it was pretty good, and my thesis advisor agreed. Focused on
my research experience, post-undergraduate work, and a desire to teach.

Reccs: Should be pretty good, especially one from Harvey Deitel (who I
think most AdComs would recognize). The other two are from Amherst professors--my thesis advisor and my regular academic advisor.
