Virtual Reality On Ice
Scott Sorensen’s experiences as a computer science student at the University of Delaware were hardly typical. While he spent his share of time in windowless rooms staring at computer screens, he also made five trips to the Arctic Ocean as part of his doctoral research. And those travels put Sorensen, who received his Ph.D. from UD this past May, on a different career course than he originally imagined for himself.
