校友 Spotlight: Tapadir Das, Computer Systems Engineering Technology

What a proud moment when a student becomes a teacher. Such is the case with this month's spotlight! Tapadhir Das 18岁，出生于印度加尔各答，在加尔各答和俄勒冈州克拉马斯瀑布长大. 由于父母的工作，他童年的大部分时间都在这两个地方之间穿梭. Tapadhir’s father worked at Jeld-Wen for 25 years, which is how his connection to Southern Oregon was established. 他被亲切地称为塔普，在克拉马斯联盟上高中，并参与了 For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (第一)机器人，这帮助他培养了成为一名计算机工程师的兴趣. 澳门水利手机入口的地理位置很近，而且是一所致力于为学生做好职业准备的大学，这一点吸引了塔普，他于2014年入学.

During his four years at Oregon Tech, Tap was a dedicated volunteer and member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He spent countless hours giving back to March of Dimes, highway clean-up projects, 第一个机器人, New Student Orientation, 音乐花园, 统一的方式, 和之. 他还积极担任他的计算机软件工程技术(CSET)课程的实验室助理，在CST 116中帮助破解学生的代码. 塔普在大四期间还担任了招生办公室的科技大使, giving campus tours and welcoming potential and incoming students. He credits professors Todd Breedlove, 特洛伊Scevers, and 凯文Pintong for the support, 教育, 以及他在大学生时期受到的指导.

While taking his Junior and Senior Project courses at Oregon Tech, Tap became interested in the research that he was conducting. That piqued his interest in research as a prospective career path. After graduating from Oregon Tech, Tap had a couple of job offers presented to him, but he was still interested in the research aspect of higher 教育. This passion for learning led him to enroll at the University of Nevada, Reno for a Master’s degree in  Computer Science and Engineering. As a graduate student, Tap worked as a research assistant and his thesis was 聪明思考，装傻:一种研究硬件木马测试欺骗的博弈论方法. 在这一点上，塔普知道他想继续研究，并可能在学术界寻求职业生涯. He continued at UNR and earned his Ph.D. 2023年5月获得计算机科学与工程博士学位， 建模 异常:软件定义网络中基于机器学习的异常和入侵检测.

With three back-to-back degrees and a passion for his field, Tap has just embarked on his career as a university faculty member. 他最近被聘为斯托克顿太平洋大学计算机科学系的助理教授, CA where he is currently teaching first-year computer science classes. 塔普的第一堂课于今年8月开课，他正在为大一新生教授《澳门水利手机入口》, 转学, 还有研究生. Tap likes to introduce and explain concepts of computer science to his students, and it excites him when he sees the “light bulb” go on in their heads. 另外, he tries to incorporate portions of his own research, other technological developments, 还有新的创新, 在课程中强调计算机科学的未来可能走向，并让学生对该领域感兴趣和兴奋. 塔普这样描述他教第一批学生时的感受:

Along with his university duties, Tap is a member of IEEE, 并在多个IEEE会议的项目委员会任职，并担任各种高影响力期刊的审稿人. With this career on the horizon, 塔普承认澳门水利博彩手机入口在为他未来的学术生涯奠定基础方面发挥了至关重要的作用. ,教授大一新生、转学生和研究生的计算机科学导论. Tap enjoys introducing and explaining concepts to his students, especially when he can witness those "light bulb" moments. 另外, Professor Das incorporates portions of his own research, other technological developments, 他还对课程进行了创新，以突出计算机科学的未来发展方向，并激发学生对这一领域的兴趣. 

Tap describes his experience as a first-year professor by saying, "The firstTap likes to introduce and explain concepts of computer science to his students, and it excites him when he sees the “light bulb” go on in their heads. 另外, he tries to incorporate portions of his own research, other technological developments, 还有新的创新, 在课程中强调计算机科学的未来可能走向，并让学生对该领域感兴趣和兴奋. 塔普这样描述他教第一批学生时的感受:Tap The first    fee few weeks of teaching have been great, 看着我的学生们从一个完全陌生的编程世界，到能够在短时间内高效地创建自己的程序，这是一件令人兴奋的事情. 我很高兴看到他们如何继续发展成为下一代计算机科学家和工程师."

Tap fondly recalls advice given to him by one of his Oregon Tech professors, 凯文Pintong, 而塔普则在大学二年级时感受到了学业紧张的压力. Professor Pintong advised that, “if it was easy, everyone would do it.这条建议引起了塔普的共鸣，直到今天，他也和他的学生们分享着同样的建议. 塔普还说，澳门水利博彩手机入口的学位不仅会给你提供从事工业工作所需的基本技能, 但它也能让你为其他职业机会做好准备，比如学术研究. 尽管他在过去的九年里一直致力于高等教育，现在是一名教授, Tap enjoys taking time to keep his body as fit as his mind. He stays active by playing soccer and basketball and going on hikes. He enjoys spending his free time with his partner, 家庭, 和朋友, and watching sports or going to games. Tap also stays connected with his fellow Oregon Tech alumni and professors, 参加活动, and maintaining those friendships that will last a lifetime. 我们当然希望塔普有一天能找到回家的路，在澳门水利手机入口教书.
