A Conversion with Dr. Komaki

What has been your favorite course to teach?

“My favorite course to teach is Business Analytic Programming that covers Python which is a general-purpose programming language. It can be applied in different fields such as data science, text mining, web and mobile application development, etc.”

Tell us about a project you are currently working on or recently completed.

“Recently I completed the feasibility study of the broadband internet implementation in the City of Farmersville. In this project, six students worked on the project and designed a survey, and collected data of residents and business owners' expectations from the broadband internet. We also analyzed the cost of the broadband internet implementation. Our analyses helped the city to apply and receive a $2.5M grant to implement the broadband internet.”
