Kristen Stubbs, an undergraduate student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, was selected as a Barry M. Goldwater Scholar for 2002. This is a national prestigious scholarship with extremely stiff competition. She is currently working at the Center for Distributed Robotics on distributed robot software.
As is true of virtually all of the Goldwater Scholars, Kristen plans to continue her education in graduate school pursuing a Ph.D. She would like to work in the area of human-computer interaction. Since last summer she has worked at the Center for Distributed Robotics on distributed robot software. Kristen is from Kansas City, Missouri. In deciding on a college to attend, she did research on various computer science departments. Since the University of Minnesota had an excellent computer science department, and she liked it here, the University of Minnesota was her choice. She has been programming computers since first grade when she taught herself BASIC and she has always loved working with and programming computers.
