Robby Williams
I'm a recent graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from NIU (GPA 3.64), passionate about graphics programming, visual computing, and video games. Previously, I studied Nuclear/Plasma Engineering at UIUC with a minor in Computer Science. My ultimate goal is to deepen my knowledge in graphics programming with APIs like Vulkan or DirectX, and to contribute meaningfully to visual computing research and the video game industry. I'm actively preparing to continue my education by applying to PhD programs focusing on visual computing and, more specifically, computer vision.
