Devin Gray
Montana State University
Masters Student, Computer Science
My name is Devin Gray. I am currently working towards a Masters degree in Computer Science. I work full time as a Senior Software Engineer at WebFilings here in Bozeman. Previous to this, I was a Software Developer / Application Engineer / Technical Architect at Oracle formerly RightNow Technologies. Due to this full time job, I am taking the courses only track on a part time basis: one class per semester. At this pace I expect to graduate in the Spring of 2014.
EPS Building - the home of the CS department (3rd floor)
Last Semester: Spring 2014
CSCI 455 - Embedded Systems: Robotics (CS 445)
3 Credits
Professor: Hunter Lloyd
PREREQUISITE: CSCI 232 and (CSCI 361 or EE 371).
-- The basic tools and techniques of embedded systems using robotics as a platform. Student teams will build an autonomous mobile robot, and learn to program it to perform increasingly sophisticated behaviors. Besides providing an introduction to autonomous mobile robot technologies, the students also learn key concepts of mechanics, electronics, programming techniques, and systems design and integration.
Courses Taken
CSCI 451 - Computational Biology (SE 522) - Fall 2013
3 Credits
Professor: Brendan Mumey
PREREQUISITE: CSCI 246.
-- This course surveys classic and recent problems from computational biology. Topics covered include algorithms for genomic sequencing and searching, protein structure prediction, and regulatory network discovery.
ESOF 522 - Empirical Software Engineering (SE 522) - Spring 2013
3 Credits
Professor: Clemente (Clem) Izurieta
PREREQUISITE: ESOF 322 or equivalent and STAT 216 or equivalent
-- Empirical software engineering focuses on improving software quality through the use of metrics. The course will provide guidance on designing, analyzing and reporting empirical studies, provide information on techniques and metrics needed to measure desired qualities, and the use of practical approaches to study software evolution.
