Biography
Hello, my name is Nick Bernardo. I am a graduate student here at The University of Rhode Island studying to obtain an MS in Systems Engineering. I achieved my BS in Industrial and Systems Engineering also at The University of Rhode Island, my senior year of which introduced me to the SIS Lab. My professional interests are in facility design and planning, logistics, and data analysis, as well as a growing interest in human factors.
In my personal life, I enjoy skateboarding, video games, and watching movies (particularly thriller and horror films).
