About Me

Hello! I'm Noah Smith, a passionate researcher and lifelong learner with a dedication to exploring the intersection of AI and optimization. Through my experiences in the McNair program, I've had the opportunity to work on projects that reflect my enthusiasm for solving complex problems and making meaningful contributions to academic research.

When I'm not working on research projects, I enjoy hiking, reading science fiction, and experimenting with new technologies. My journey has been driven by curiosity, resilience, and the desire to apply what I learn in ways that positively impact the world around me.

Research Experience

This section highlights my research experience, projects, and presentations from the McNair program, emphasizing my dedication to exploring AI, optimization techniques, and contributing to academic advancements.

AI Concept Maps (2023)

This project explored the intersection of AI and education by developing visual tools to enhance reading comprehension. I used AI chatbots to generate concept maps, helping users engage with texts more effectively. Through this experience, I gained valuable insights into the practical applications of AI in education.

Graph Genus Problem (2024)

This project delved into the complexities of topological graph theory, focusing on algorithmic solutions to the NP-hard graph genus problem. Through a series of experiments, I evaluated the effectiveness of randomized optimization algorithms and their ability to solve this challenging problem. The project culminated in a research report published in the McNair Journal.
