Esmail Bonakdarian

I'm a faculty member in the Computer Science Department at Dominican University in River Forest, IL (Chicago)

Born and raised in Germany, I've been in the US for a while. My undergraduate majors were in Political Science, Economics and Computer Science, my Ph.D. is in Computer Science. After graduation I taught in a number of visiting positions (incl. Oberlin College) before moving to Chicago last summer to join Dominican University in a tenure track position. During my time in the United States I've lived in Iowa, Washington DC, Georgia, New York, Ohio and now Illinois.

My research interests are primarily in evolutionary computation (e.g., Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimizations, ..). I'm also very interested in assistive technology.

In addition to learning about HFOSS this summer, I am also hoping to learn about the arduino/rasberry pi platforms to see how I might incorporate these into my hardware/architecture classes.

(I'm also a bit of a runner, I'm planning to bring my running shoes with me so I can perhaps explore Philadelphia by foot)

IRC Questions

  • How do people interact?

Seems like a typical chat-room sort of experience.

  • What is the pattern of communication?

None observed so far (just got on IRC last night .. pretty quiet)

  • Are there any terms that seem to have special meaning?

...

  • Can you make any other observations?

Not so far, new to IRC, but looking forward to learning and using it.


Project Anatomy Activity

Sugar Labs

Q: Can you determine from the information provided here whether the project uses a web-based common repository or a local repo?
