Alexander Peppe Home | Projects | Tutoring | Design | Contact I am a teaching assistant at the University of Southern Maine, a developer for the Research Computing Group, and a student. This webpage contains information pertaining all three areas, as well as personal endeavors. As a Teaching Assistant I am currently grading for several computer science classes: COS 160, 170, 161, 250, and 255. I provide tutoring for all computer science classes taught by the University. This tutoring is available publically and privately. If you have any questions about the classes, do not hesistate to contact me. If you have questions about tutoring, please see my tutoring page. As a Developer I am working on a GeoPortal for the State of Maine. I am currently rewriting the Map Viewer portion. I inhereted this project for Matthew Blanchette last summer. As a Student I am currently conducting an informal research project on the most effective energy drink from the perspectives of cost and perceived gain. This is for a technical writing class, and the paper will be released at the end of the semester. I am also creating an artificial intelligence agent to play Toribash, a physics-based combat simulator (otherwise known as a video game). As a Hiker I am currently exploring the New Hampshire 48 Four Thousand Footers. Last summer, I hiked Mount Mitchell, and I will be climbing Mount Whitney, Mount Ellis, and the Half Dome next summer. I also plan on doing the Appalachain Trial the summer after next, after my successful completion of the 48. I am hoping to volunteer on the summit of Mount Washington this year or next, and have submitted my application. Last modified 02/03/2010 Alexander R. Peppe
