Richard Coric

Hi, My name is Richard. I am an aspiring Research Student, with a goal to pursue a Masters in Computer Science. You can see some of the things I have done here.

I am currently in my final undergraduate year at the University of Lincoln, studying a BSc in Computer Science. At the moment I am working on my dissertation and looking for spare time to work on some side projects.

interests

I am passionate about Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning, and compiler development, with a strong interest in building tools from scratch to better understand how everyday software is created. I also enjoy exploring the low-level workings of computing, such as operating systems, and the intersection of AI and linguistics, particularly how AI can enhance language learning and understanding.

During my studies, I developed a keen interest in computer vision, particularly Vision-Language Models (VLMs), and found Image Processing to be a fascinating area that I am eager to explore further. My past experience includes web development with various technologies, which has given me a strong foundation for tackling diverse computational challenges.

background

I have been doing some sort of programming since my 1st year in Secondary school (6th grade - middle school); and ever since playing around with Adobe DreamWeaver at school I have been fascinated by Web Development. I then took my first steps in HTML in 2018.

I have since been working on my undergraduate degree in Computer Science, where I have been able to explore a wide range of topics, from AI to operating systems. I have also been able to work on a variety of projects, which have helped me to develop my skills and knowledge in different areas of computing.

In the Summer of 2023, I was able to be an AI Intern at Legal-Pythia where I worked on a variety of Machine Learning Solutions and a range of software, which helped me to develop my skills in AI and software development.

other

Other than coding I read many books in my free time, as well as tend to my tortoise 'Fred'. I enjoy linguistics, I am also studying Korean, German and French, because languages have always intrigued me.
