CSCI 1805: Computers Freedom and Privacy follows the history of privacy and surveillance in the United States to give historical context and explore possible reforms for current-day controversies.My role as a TA for CSCI 1805 was to:Provide assistance within class meetings and with planning CSCI 1805: Computers Freedom and PrivacyHold weekly office hours to help students with course material and guide them in their essaysGrade essays, provide comments on drafts, and offer technical knowledge of Cybersecurity

I participated in the 2021 Boise State Data-Driven Security REU. We tested the security of the GIFT lightweight encryption algorithm through deep learning and other machine learning algorithms in an interdisciplinary team of math and computer science students and faculty mentors. The results of our research could contribute to the NIST lightweight cryptography standardization competition/process. Reach out to me or explore the links below to learn more about lightweight cryptography or any other aspect of my research!

MATH 750: Introduction to Higher math introduces students to three advanced branches of mathematics. The course introduces students to these topics earlier than they would reach them otherwise. Students learn each topic for one month from a separate professor.In my role as the TA for MATH 750 was to:Provide assistance within class meetings and with planning the course contentHold weekly office hours to help students with course material and guide them through problem setsOrganize class transition to Zoom and online teachingGrade weekly problem sets as well as manage the course website and material

- Studied Zero Knowledge Cryptography in a team of four students in the Clemson cryptography REU- Researched and developed a framework for ZK-SNARKS and ZK-STARKS- Produced a paper concisely outlining a complete modern zero knowledge encryption scheme- Presented at the 2020 MATH REU Conference @ Clemson University
