Ashlee Rice-Bladykas Email and Phone Number
I am a driven engineer, researcher, and businesswoman with a desire to bring my leadership and business intuition, problem-solving capabilities, and adaptability to any project I work on. In my master's studies at the University of Florida, I am a graduate assistant in the Wireless and Mobile Systems lab, focusing primarily on satellite communications research. One of the papers I was part of - "Detection of Zero-Day Attacks in a Software-Defined LEO Constellation Network Using Enhanced Network Metric Predictions" - was recently published in the IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society.While my interest in research was cultivated both through research in my bachelor's degree and in my multiple summers in MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Summer Research Program, I am also fortunate enough to have a background in the commercial side of the communications industry through my work with Cutter Networks. The combination of these experiences has given me a unique viewpoint not only for communications, but for engineering as a whole.
