Niall Mullane

Hi! My name is Niall Mullane, and I am studying Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at North Carolina State University.

I am a highly motivated student focusing on robotics and rocketry outside of the classroom. I would love to apply my computer science experience to real-world problems in industry and research.
