Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

• Led a recitation of 12 students to reinforce concepts from lecture and held office hours to provide additional help for students about concepts taught during lecture or reviewed during recitation.
• Recitations were well received among students, increasing comprehension of the course topics.
• Reviewed topics including C programming basics, x86 assembly basics, virtual memory, cache, memory allocation, and the basics of processes.

• Led a recitation of 30 students to reinforce concepts from lecture and held office hours to provide additional help for students about concepts taught during lecture or reviewed during recitation.
• Reviewed topics including sets, combinatorics, sequences and summations, recursive definitions, probability, and logic programming.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

• Participated in the NSF Center for Space, High Performance, and Resilient Computing (SHREC) Summer Undergraduate Research Group.
• Analyzed different reliability techniques used to make the AES algorithm more resilient to single-event upsets in space.
• Researched the best possible AES block and stream cipher methods for space application and ability to handle data corruption while still secure by modern industry standards. Used current academic literature to modify.
• Researched the best possible AES block and stream cipher methods for space application and ability to handle data corruption while still secure by modern industry standards. Used current academic literature to modify.
• Created a duplex voting system and a hybrid approach (hamming codes and duplex voting) to help in analysis against the original AES algorithm and hamming codes version. Results demonstrated that the hybrid approach.
• Results also reinforced that while data errors are prominent in space computing, execution errors caused by single event upsets can still hamper a system even while data errors are significantly reduced. Show less
