Me doing research
I have traveled approximately 750 miles to participate in the Research Alliance for Minorities ( RAM) program. I am from Queens, New York, where I attend the City University of New York at York College. My major is Information Systems Management. At York College, I participate in two nationally recognized research programs- McNair Scholars Program and NYC Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation in Science, Mathematics and Engineering and Technology (SMET).

This summer I was awarded the honor of participating in the RAM program. This program has provided me with the opportunity to conduct the latest technology research in the Computer Science and Mathematics Division at ORNL. My mentor Stephen Scott and his team of researchers have exposed me to different software and technology in cluster computing. Amara, William (who are also York College students) and I spent the first part of our summer building a small cluster and learning how to install OSCAR- Open Source Cluster Application Resources. We were vital in that we helped to do some of the need testing for OSCAR 1.3 beta 3 version. We helped to log bugs that we found during our installation process and helped to update the installation document. I then began to apply my newly retained knowledge of clusters and OSCAR to begin to examine computing performance by using benchmarks. My experience here just increased my desire to continue my education. My goal is to continue until I become Dr. Lori Collins, in hopes that someday soon I could inspire minority undergraduates to also continue their education and expose them research. If you would like more information on what I have done please feel free to read my abstract. It is available in Word and postscript.
