About Me
Hi, I'm Andrew Wagger!
Feel free to contact me here
Computer Science Undergraduate at the University of Maryland
I'm currently a third year student studying Computer Science.
I've taken courses on compilers, algorithms, and programming language design as well as classes on computation and complexity theory.
I am currently taking courses on formal verification and networking
Operations Director at WMUC-FM College Park
I currently run the operations for UMD's student-run radio station, WMUC-FM College Park.
I manage bookings of our space for local bands, providing access for our members, event planning, and more.
Instructor for UMD Computer Science class: A Tour of Programming Languages
I, along with two other students, instruct a Student Initiated Course (STIC) at UMD.
We teach a variety of programming languages as well as the philosophy behind them.
The programming languages we will be teaching are:
Lua, Go, Prolog, COBOL, J, Forth, Miranda, Befunge, Intercal
Teaching Assistant for UMD's Computer Science Department
I have been a teaching assistant for computer science classes on discrete math and C.
I am currently a TA for UMD's intro Java course.
I run discussion sections for students, hold office hours, and grade projects/exams.
Past Experiences
Researcher for UMD's Research Experience for Undergradutates Program
Over Summer 2025, I worked in a research group in UMD's Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Combinatorics, Algorithms, and AI for Real Problems (CAAR) program
We researched the non-Euclidean distance metric called the Hilbert Metric. We focused on algorithms to calculate Voronoi (closest point) diagrams of the k0th degree.
I worked on the final Voronoi algorithm as well as coding visualization software to implement our algorithms as well as other geometric structures of the Hilbert Metric.
A paper on the software is being submitted to the International Symposium on Computational Geometry 2026.
Technology Director for TIC Summer Camp Maryland
Over Summer 2024, I, along with four other directors, lead the Maryland branch of TIC Summer Camp.
As Technology Director, I ran the technology portion of the camp. I managed a team of 14 counselors that taught campers from elementary to high school programming, robotics, animation, and more.
Website Manager at WMUC-FM College Park
I was the website manager for UMD's student-run radio station, WMUC-FM College Park in 2024.
During my time, I coded up the website redesign from the graphic design team that better reflected our style as well as has improved functionality.
I managed the radio's Ubuntu webserver that hosts its audio streams, website, backend services, show archive, analytics database, blog, and wiki
I added a new analytics system that stores site users and which pages are viewed.
