Jerome Mitchell '07
ELIZABETH CITY STATE UNIVERSITY 
Using Ensemble Learning to Detect Data Abnormalities in Databases
Jerome Mitchell majored in computer science because he enjoys solving complex problems using methodological steps. But it's not the only kind of science that interests him.
"Since freshman year I've worked on projects concerning glacier dynamics," says Mitchell. Now a senior, Mitchell uses his technological know-how to help study global climate change. He collects data abnormalities in databases, which helps researchers measure changes and make predictions about polar ice.
"We're looking for data on melting glaciers to test the theories of global warming and its effect on the rise of sea levels," he says.
Mitchell is one of four Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) students who presented at URC '06. ECSU, in Elizabeth City, N.C., and UNH have a research and education partnership which enables faculty and students at both institutions to collaborate on research, education, and outreach opportunities.
Mitchell says that coming to UNH was a way for him to get his research in front of people. "I hope that I can inspire someone to become interested in the kind of work I'm doing."
