In my research, I am concerned with the transmission of digital data using fiber optic cables. Whether it is for extremely long distances (like between continents) or for short distances, like inside of a datacenter that makes AI possible. I look at individual parts of the overall system and try to improve all of them simultaneously, by using machine learning.
If I was to give a 90 minute class for high school students, I would like to explain how the internet works by sending digital data (ones and zeros) from one point to another, and how text or images or sounds can be turned into digital data in the first place. I would also like to give an insight into artificial intelligence and how the technology is very closely related to the functioning of the human brain. If the time allows, I would like to connect those two conecpts and talk about modern datacenters and how information flows inside of them to make GPTs possible, which is the actual field of my research.
I would like to include practical exercises for the students and to introduce the topics with relatable metaphors, so that the students can get an intuitive understanding of this technology which they use every day.
