Zachary P . Fry – Research Statement

My research focuses on studying the software maintenance process, especially as it relates to humans, in an effort to reduce the overall cost of maintaining large systems. I feel that this problem is of paramount importance as maintenance accounts for the great majority of the cost associated with the software lifecycle. It has remained largely a human-centric, manual process despite increasing...

From Taylor Series to Taylor Models

An overview of the background of Taylor series methods and the utilization of the differential algebraic structure is given, and various associated techniques are reviewed. The conventional Taylor methods are extended to allow for a rigorous treatment of bounds for the remainder of the expansion in a similarly universal way. Utilizing differential algebraic and functional analytic arguments on ...

Leveraging AI ’ s readth in CS 1 Zachary Dodds

Artificial Intelligence offers a compelling backdrop for student assignments and projects even very early in the computer science curriculum. We have leveraged so-called high-level AI, in the form of reasoning about language and game-playing to motivate students in CS 1. More recently we have added activities that might be described as “lower-level” AI: robotics programming via both simulated a...
