Stefano Candiani<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m Stefano Candiani! I am currently in my fourth year studying Computer Science with a minor in Astronomy. I perform research at the IMPS astrobiology lab and I am the president of the Brazilian-Portuguese club on campus. I have some experience with Machine Learning Engineering through classes and have developed a simple image recognition Convolutional Neural Network as part of a class project. I’m excited to work with MRSL in this amazing project!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Machado<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hello, I’m Ryan Machado, a 4th year Computer Science major with a minor in Engineering Innovation, and a member of the Eta Kappa Nu honors society. I’ve worked in the past as a research assistant (use of AI in education), and I worked this previous summer as a Technology Intern on a Cloud FinOps team, designing and implementing automations that impacted several AWS accounts on an enterprise-scale in order to reduce costs by thousands of dollars a month. I’m proficient in Python DSA, a certified AWS Cloud Practitioner, and I am also very interested in learning more about AI\/ML. I’m eager to learn from and make meaningful contributions to the MRSL CAPS project!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
