Welcome to my Research Page
I have been interested in engineering solutions for as long as I can remember. This page contains a selection of my favorite research interests. I have developed lightweight encryption algorithms to secure drone communications, leveraged integrated circuits to implement parallel processing with fully shared memory at clock speed, and most recently, began investigating next-generation techniques for compilation in the secure multi-party computation paradigm.
