not sure, i didn't really have a particular research focus as an undergrad. this is one of my biggest regrets of my CS education actually, i should have done a really interesting senior project instead of just goofing off and trying to get A's. personally i find advanced machine learning research boring and uninspired (ever since the relative failure of expert systems AI has just a bunch of math geeks trying to get greater and greater success rates on variants of neural network classifiers).

good teachers were:

macintyre
leahy (not a professor just a lecturer but imo he's the most interesting guy in the department)
ram
rossignac

graduated georgia tech a few years ago. it was a shitty undergraduate experience but it was cheap, got me a job, and exposed me to some new ideas. i feel like asking for much more than that from college is asking too much.

for all the hate stem gets, learning about algorithms did give me a new way to look at the world. in concept computer science is extremely interesting, but the problem is that in the working world it boils down to checking for null, form validation, and file parsing for data driven design. i maybe get to write two "real" algorithms a year.

if i could do it again i probably would major in english and go off the deep end experimenting with psychadelics, but desu i'm not sure if it would have made me any happier. for what it's worth the english composition classes i took my freshman year introduced me to douglas coupland, who is extremely underrated on this board.

tbs (tech bitch syndrome) is real, by the way. i can only imagine it has gotten worse in proceeding years (i graduated before the sjw meme was a thing). and this is coming from someone who wasn't a complete loser and who actually had a relationship while enrolled.

engineering jobs are soul sucking but they pay well. i've been to purdue - good bbq there.

went here once to present at a conference. had the feeling that everyone there was happy and beautiful. like blonde dolls.

computer generated poetry is already a thing.

At least know what you're talking about. Although it's easy to make that mistake if you went to a shit school whose CS department just shat out codemonkeys

Different books in each medium too. But only if you're hardcore.
