  mentoring_philosophy: 'While mentoring, I meet with students regularly to discuss their long run goals and try to provide insight as to how to prepare them. This advice is especially aimed at students who may have an interest in graduate school. My goal is also to always provide the broader picture of where the student''s task fits in, as the project may take several years to complete for the broader research team.  '

This project will focus on digitizing historical records from the Engineering News Record to construct a new price index. to build the index, research assistants will help collect images from microfilm housed in Strozier Library, extract pages from pdf''s housed on the Hathi Trust, and help adapt new OCR and machine learning technologies to extract and parse image files.
