About Me
Robert PearceAspiring Anesthesiologist Assistant
Hello, I'm Robert Pearce. I have an Associate's degree in Business and am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, with plans to graduate in December 2025. As I work toward becoming an Anesthesiologist Assistant, I’m excited to bring my background in technology into the healthcare field.
My experience in computer science has strengthened my problem-solving, attention to detail, and ability to think critically under pressure—skills that are essential in the operating room. I'm currently gaining clinical experience and learning how to apply these strengths in patient-focused settings to support safe and efficient care.
Associate Degree
Business
Graduated from College of Southern Nevada with an Associate Degree in Business. Maintaining a 3.9 GPA and received the Deans List Award every semester.
Bachelor of Science
Computer Science
Expected graduation from the University of Nevada Las Vegas is 2025 with a minor in mathematics.
Harvard CS50 Python
Completed Harvard's CS50 Python course, which included comprehensive modules on functions, variables, conditionals, loops, exceptions, libraries, unit tests, file I/O, regular expressions, and object-oriented programming. Successfully completed various problem sets and a final project, demonstrating proficiency in Python programming.
Featured Project
kSZ Map Tau Predictor
Python
Developed a machine learning model to predict the optical depth (τ) of the early universe using simulated kSZ heat maps from cosmological reionization simulations. Trained and evaluated a neural network on 1,000 samples to learn the complex relationship between spatial CMB distortions and τ values.
Featured Project
Projectile Motion Simulator
Python
Developed a Python program using NumPy and Matplotlib to calculate and visualize the trajectory, time of flight, maximum height, and range of a projectile launched at a specified angle and velocity.
Featured Project
Vegas STEM Lab: Brain Master
C++
As a mentor at the AISL Vegas STEM Lab, I led four students in creating the Brain Master Project. This project involved developing a game similar to Simon Says, using buttons, LEDs, and an ESP32 microcontroller. I taught the students C++ and guided them in implementing a pattern recognition algorithm for game development.
