Jorge R. Castro Morales,
born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico on August 20, 1987. His parents are Jorge F. Castro and Irma
Morales. He studied, from primary to
high school, in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico. He
was graduated in all schools with an average of 4.00 as a High Honor
Student. He participated in different
school’s projects and communities’ activities, like share with elders,
children, needy people, gives to one an image of the reality and how he can
contribute to help improve it
Throughout his student
life, the subjects preferred and excelled at were mathematics, as well as the
sciences. Jorge has been an excellent
student in all subjects. For the past 5 years, he has been attending
Universidad del Turabo in Gurabo, Puerto Rico where he are studying Computer
Engineering with an average of 3.51 as Honor Student Program. Jorge enjoys what all that he learns and
everyday more confident that was meant for a career.
Jorge has knowledge in the programming languages
like: JAVA, JSP, JAVA ME, Android, BlackBerry, C#, C++, C, Scheme, Visual
Prolog, Windows Mobile, MYSQL, Access, Oracle and PostgreSQL, J2ME (Blackberry
and Android) Scheme, and Visual Prolog and in Web Programming HTML, JSP.
He is assets in the Businessmen Students Project. It consists of developing a product and to
create a mini-business to complete it.
The business is called Innovactronics and it is very positive
experience. It works as a team and all
we contribute our knowledge the elaboration of the product. He was the was CEO of this group on August
2010 to December 2010.
Jorge participated in some competences in the
University of Bayamón (Programming Performance), he obtained the First Place. For the second time consecutive, in these
competences of programming performed (November of 2008), he obtained the First
Place too at the Universidad del Turabo.
Projects he have been working on undergraduate
research are "Mobile Data Management" at the University of Turabo,
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, January 2009 to May
2009. The project’s main goal is design
and implements techniques that work similar to database architectures. In this case, implement a XML file-processing
system as a database and design an API environment able the manipulate XML
file-processing systems. It will permit us to design ways to create mobile
applications that involves databases without the need of using a database
motor.
Other project was Implication of Mobile Software
Application Architecture Design on Cell Phone Battery Life at The Center for
Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) "and" Department of Computer
Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of South Florida (USF), Summer
2009. New mobile phones support IP-based
networking protocols such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP), the continuous use of wireless communication and
positioning systems such as Global Position System (GPS) can have a significant
effect on mobile phone battery life. His
work was to evaluate the impact of mobile phone battery life.
From June 2010 to August 2010, Jorge worked at
Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA), Spanish Council for
Scientific Research (CSIC) with the project A Comparative Study of Information
Loss Using SDC Methods. In this project he
analyzed different types of microdata sets common use by researchers, Tarragona
and Census, both numerical microdata. It is use several perturb
microaggregation methods (MDAV, RMD, PCA, PPPCA) of SDC with numerical
microdata and compare two techniques of information loss, Probabilistic
Information loss (PIL) and the Sum of Squares Error(SSE).
His Capstone project (senior project) is
Maintenance Reminder System at University of Turabo, Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering, January 2010 at May 2011. A Car Maintenance System is developed where
regular users can interact and receive maintenance reminders to their cell
phones. An embedded OBD Bluetooth interface is developed to enable a wireless
communication between a Bluetooth device and the car's computer. Also a web
application will be provided in order to upload maintenance data, which can be
accessed later by service stores. Finally a Global Position System (GPS) system
will be enable the users to find the nearest service stores for their car's
maintenance.
On February 2011, He become part of Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory working at National Ignition Facility (NIF) on the NIFC/CAR
Division at Livermore, California. His first
project is to create a NIF application for the Android mobile OS base on the
iNIF iPhone app.
Some of his Achievements and Honors are: REU experience at University of South Florida
(USF), second place, poster competition with my project Implication of Mobile
Software Application Architecture Design on Cell Phone Battery Life, June 2009,
Computer programming competitions, first place beginners level, Universidad del
Turabo; Computer programming competitions, first place beginners level,
Universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto Bayamon; Elected by Tao Alpha Omega
international Honor Society; Elected by Universidad del Turabo Honor Program.
His Personal Membership are: Member of the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Universidad del Turabo Chapter, Vice President; Member
of IEEE Computer Society (IEEE CS) Universidad del Turabo Chapter; Member of
the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), Universidad del Turabo
Chapter; Member of Honor Society of Sistema Ana G. Mendez; Member of Honor
Society of Puerto Rico; Member of Tao Alpha Omega International Honor Society.
