Career Plan

After graduating from the University of Arkansas, Molder plans to pursue a PhD in computer science (or related field) so he can research novel machine learning architectures for optimizing computer systems. In this research, he wants to help accelerate programs on computers and overcome the recent decline of Moore’s law. Ultimately, Molder wants to help create computer systems powerful and efficient enough to realize futuristic technologies like brain-computer interfaces and self-driving vehicles.
