Spring 2016 is my first full semester as a Lab Director, and I have performed my duties to the best of my ability and knowledge, including: sending out weekly and announcment emails, leading and participating in weekly meetings, mediating diiscussion forrums, conflict resolution and crisis management. I have also spent time cleaning and promoting the labs, as well as encouraging development of interesting projects.
I have also dealt with COSI PR, including running the Accepted Students Day, handling Mirror Contributer PR, and dealing with internal issues.
I have given many lightning talks already this semester, and will continue to do so. I have also given one talk in the aftermeeting slot, and may give another.
I coordinated the acquisition and setup of the three robots COSI now is steward of. I have also taken charge of managing these robots (in the sense of keeping track of them). Listed below are the projects I have overseen (but not contributed to), and my to-do list for the end of the semester.
I brought up the idea of purchasing a Leapo Motion for the labs. We did so, and I have a few planned projects using the Leap.
Over the summer, I will be developing a Machine Learning class for the Fall, and developing a series of workshops targeted at freshmen.
