Welcome to my OSU E-Portfolio! I am Robert Sunderhaft, a Junior Eminence Fellow majoring in Data Analytics and minoring in Mathematics. I grew up in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, a small town 30 minutes outside of Cleveland, where I attended Kenston High School.

Academic wise, I enjoy many STEM oriented subjects but am most passionate about mathematics, statistics, and computer science. I am currently involved with Engineers Without Boarders(EWB), Big Data Analytics Association(BDAA), and Project Peer at OSU. Through EWB I was able to travel to Ecuador to start a three year project to build new classrooms for a rural community. This semester I am leading a committee to analysis how to design the new classrooms. It was an amazing experience and I hope to go back in the next year or two. In BDAA, I am a Special Project Coordinator and am looking forward to helping develop meeting plans for teaching Machine Learning in our spring semester meetings. Last is Project Peer, an organization that was founded by our Eminence Fellowship that is focused on tackling the educational inequities that prisons possess. In Project Peer we are currently volunteering in two prisons in a partnership with OPEEP where we host a learning community with prisoners. We are currently expanding the organization by raising funds for educational materials and starting a database of scholarships the prisoners can to apply to after they are released. Project Peer has been an incredibly eye opening experience for me and I can’t wait to see its growth over the coming semesters.

I am also very active in research as I work under Dr. Steven Quiring in his climate analytics lab. In Dr. Quiring’s lab, I am working with Nationwide to figure out which locations in the US will be impacted the most by a hurricane. I also am planning on joining another research group this upcoming semester either in Computer Vision or General AI.

Outside of school you will most likely find me outdoors where I will be either playing golf, hiking, or camping. While inside, I like to listen and play music, acquire random and obscure skills, and cheer on the Buckeyes while they pummel any team they play.
