Hawaii Wildfire: Over 1,100 still missing after devastating fires. FBI seeks family assistance to identify remains. Latest news on Hawaii fire aftermath
I started working on my master s degree last September. The goal was to return to my workplace as a domain expert in formal methods – a topic I knew I was interested in, and yet something I knew practically nothing about. I partially attribute my lack of exposure to the lack of supervised learning opportunities (courses) at my undergraduate institution. Brown has an ample supply of teaching and research faculty who work in the field, though, so I ve been taking advantage of that and soaking up as much knowledge as I can. I m writing this to summarize what I ve learned and done through my few months at grad school, and also to touch on what I have yet to learn because, as it turns out, three semesters is not nearly enough time to become a "domain expert" in anything. A beginning practitioner, perhaps, but I m sure even that s an overly-generous characterization.
