\u201cThis is a big accomplishment for Teddy and affirms Tarleton\u2019s engineering programs as among the best in the nation,\u201d said Dr. Rafael Landaeta, Dean of the Mayfield College of Engineering. \u201cOur faculty and student researchers are breaking boundaries and achieving breakthroughs. Teddy is at the forefront.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teddy will work with the Wireless Technologies and Ecosystem team analyzing data from Apple devices to improve embedded artificial intelligence and machine learning systems. He\u2019ll get true-to-work experience and collaborate with some of the world\u2019s best innovators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m honestly very excited,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been preparing for this a good portion of my life, and I can\u2019t wait to contribute to a dynamic company like Apple.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teddy, who turns 17 shortly after arriving at Apple, graduated from high school in Nigeria at 14. After a gap year, he moved to the U.S. in spring 2022 to pursue his bachelor\u2019s degree. He credits Tarleton\u2019s academic might and cutting-edge discovery as drawing cards. Courses in artificial intelligence sealed the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He spent his gap year working for a couple of software companies and improving his coding skills. His new country, culture and school required a big adjustment, but cross-disciplinary networking and a welcoming campus made the transition easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Already, Teddy has researched algorithms for machine learning models in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, disease spread using stochastic processes on networks and differential equations in the Department of Mathematics, and computational modeling for Tarleton\u2019s Texas Institute for Applied Environmental Research to support environmental and agricultural advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has served as payload engineer for the Tarleton Aeronautical and Rocketry Team and a Student Government Association member. He\u2019s president of the Tarleton Computer Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019ll be no slowing down when Teddy graduates in May 2025. He will immediately start postgraduate work to further his research in generative adversarial networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mayfield College of Engineering offers 14 programs, with more on the horizon as enrollment passes 1,000. Classes are available at Tarleton\u2019s Stephenville and Fort Worth campuses, A&M-RELLIS and online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supported by a community of professionals and expert faculty, the college has become a reliable pipeline to meet the state\u2019s growing need for highly skilled engineering, computer science and construction graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
