Research Assistant in Professor Marshini Chetty's Amyoli Internet Research Lab. Learning under PhD candidate Lan Gao.

- Investigated the efficacy of fast encryption for tokenized assets by developing novel Fast Additive Homomorphic Encryption (FAHE) in Python and validating its performance with Pytest and Matplotlib- Increased message encryption speed by 100x, achieving reliable 256-bit security for 64-bit messages by overhauling FAHE in C and using Criterion for benchmarking.- Implemented hypervisor-safe encryption scheme by overhauling an existing ElGamal encryption library in Noir and Rust to run within AMD SEV trusted execution environments (TEE) VM- Identified and mapped critical technical components in a flowchart to clearly explain the security and process of a Solidity Private Token application to non-technical stakeholders

Safeguarded usage of UChicago’s Glaze and Nightshade project (style mimicry disruption tools that protects creative works from unauthorized AI replication) by communicating with artists and distinguishing between AI-generated and original art

- Taught computer science curriculum to elementary and middle school girls in South Side Chicago- Planned generative AI safety and privacy, robotics, and basic algorithm classes

- Founded website development business working with locally-based education consulting companies- Created a 25-page e-commerce college consulting business website that facilitated transactions of $200,000+ in online sale revenue and generated an 86% increase in email subscriptions- Developed UIUX using JS, HTML, CSS, Squarespace, and Wix tools

- Robots ranked in top 15 robots internationally, Georgia state champion, three-time regional winner, awarded excellence in engineering three times, internationally decorated- Spearheaded the Java development of one of the fastest robots in Georgia for high stakes competition- Integrated April Tag computer vision system for robot position estimation and target tracking- Trained team of 12+ programmers in Java, robot programming, Github, and FRC diagnostics testing
