Parker Dunn

I am a student at Boston University (BU) where I am working on a master's degree in Computer Engineering with a specialization in Data Analytics.

​

Until 2021, I was a chemist. I studied chemistry at Stonehill College and worked at PerkinElmer Health Sciences afterward, but realized I wanted to work in a different field long term. Instead of gradually making up some classes to enroll directly in a master's program, I started as a LEAP student at BU (LEAP program). After a couple of semesters taking preliminary courses, I am now a master's student studying computer engineering.

​

The focus of my coursework is learning the necessary skills to manipulate and analyze data. A sample of topics includes machine learning, deep learning, data structures, algorithms, cloud computing, computer vision, and autonomous navigation.

​

As of fall 2022, I am working on a thesis for my master's degree with Professor Eshed Ohn-Bar. I am working on autonomous navigation using semi-supervised and unsupervised approaches from monocular video. You can find more information about my work on this page.
