NEWS RELEASE
ALGOMA UNIVERSITY
*************************
On Friday, Nov. 17, Algoma University fourth-year computer science students will be presenting their thesis proposals in a public forum.
Each presenter will have 20 minutes to present their topic followed by a five-minute question and answer period. The presentations will occur between 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. in the Doc Brown Lounge (EW 205). All are welcome to attend.
The following is a list of the presenters and the topics that they will be presenting:
Presenter: Guy Coccimiglio
Thesis title: Preventing Reward Hacking in Reinforcement Learning Artificial Intelligence
Presenter: Peizhi Yan
Thesis title: Using Machine Learning in Gomoku Game
Presenter: Alan Cantin
Thesis title: Automating Heat Perimeter Mapping with Thermal Infrared Imagery
Presenter: Damindu Liyanage
Thesis title: Encrypted Real-time Communication
Presenter: Justin Rhude
Thesis title: Lightweight Onion Routing Simulation for Traffic Analysis Attack Testing
Presenter: Joseph Tassone
Thesis title: Intercepting Wireless Communication: Bluetooth Low Energy and Radio Frequency Identification
“The thesis presentations allow our students to defend their thesis proposals in front of a broader audience,” says Dr. Townsend, full time professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. “The thesis course provides students with the opportunity to research a topic of their choice in depth during the fall term and then to write a thesis based on that research during the winter term.”
Dr. Townsend indicated that this research often includes the development of a hardware or software system during the winter term that is demonstrated in the students’ final presentations next April.
