Joshua Morrison

My name is Joshua Morrison. I am a freshman student at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) majoring in Computer Science, and I am part of the Science and Global Change (SGC) College Park Scholars program. I am also taking classes required for the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences major, and planning on declaring that as a second major in my junior year. I want to work on creating climate models using machine learning in order to help us deal with rapid climate change. We already have good battery technology and renewable energy, so I believe that the next step in terms of scientific development is reversing the damage we have already done. Additionally, I believe that this is a good first step towards being able to make other planets in our solar system habitable. Furthermore, machine learning is a branch of computer science that I don't believe is in as much danger from advances in artificial intelligence taking away other jobs.
