First meeting

I had a short meeting with a PhD mentor, Patrick, after lunch at the Tudor room at IU. I started work at Professors Kapadia’s lab with undergraduate students, Thomas, Tyler and the PhD mentor Patrick. Patrick is a second year PhD student and he worked in the Navy before he came back to school. I am going to work with Thomas who is an undergraduate student of Elizabeth City Student and Tyler who is a senor of Indiana university.

Patrick explained the project that they are working on which is about what aspects of Wikipedia’s policies hinder Wikipedia users from editing pages. Patrick already has a huge data set of editing activities of Wikipedia users.  I think that this is a good chance to learn about data frames and how to handle big data. I am excited to work with everyone.
