Thank you for allowing me to participate in the summer research program. It was an amazing opportunity to research a field that I am interested in. I learned a lot about Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, and Wearable devices. Before I started this program, I did not understand much about AI. But under your guidance, I was able to immerse myself in the subject and research various topics in the field. Not only did I learn about AI, but I also gained valuable knowledge on how to research and write a successful research paper. This was valuable knowledge that I would be taking with me to succeed in college.

Sincerely,

Shreya Basireddy
