Northeastern University Young Scholars’ Program

I participated in Northeastern University’s Young Scholars’ Program where I conducted efficient deep learning research in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering with Professor Xue Lin. I worked on optimizing training parameters for convolutional neural networks and presented a final poster summarizing my research from the summer.

Hi, my name is Ken Kalin. I'm a junior at Duke University. I am double majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the Pratt School of Engineering. This summer I worked as an Electrical Engineering Intern at Acoustic Wells, Inc. (now Amplified Industries), an IOT startup based in Boston, MA.

Computer programming has been one of my passions for a number of years. I have conducted research into deep learning and convolutional neural networks as part of the Young Scholar's Program at Northeastern University. I've developed several websites and mobile applications, including an arcade-style iPhone game called “Bubble Basher” and a cross platform messaging application called “The Messageboard.”

In my free time, I am a licensed Ham Radio operator and have contacted people in many countries around the world with my shortwave radio. I also play guitar in a “rock band” with some of my friends.
