I joined the Networking Research Group during my second semester as an undergraduate student under the mentorship of Jason Carpenter. I am broadly interested in mobile network security and availability, Internet access equality, and privacy in computer networks. In addition to my position as a researcher, I am the Communications Subsystem Leader at the University's Small Satellite Research Laboratory where I manage and develop the systems related to information exchange between our satellites and Earth.

I am pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science and will graduate in May 2026.

Research

At the beginning of my second year as an undergraduate, I published Examining Interplay of Compression and Encryption and Applicability to 5G Teleoperations with co-authors Jason Carpenter and Dr. Zhi-Li Zhang. I am currently assisting research efforts with Dr. Eman Ramadan, Rostand A. K. Fezeu, Faaiq Bilal, and others.

Publications

Certifications

I hold several certifications, some of which are listed below.

Scholarships and Funding

I am funded by the National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program through Dr. Zhi-Li Zhang's lab. I am also a proud recipient of the University of Minnesota's Maximillian Lando Scholarship.

Affiliations

I am a student member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), as well as the ACM SIGCOMM, ACM SIGMOBILE, and IEEE Communications Society special interest groups. I'm also a member of the Internet Society and its Interplanetary Networking Special Interest Group.
