Graduate student researcher passionate about secure data systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated graduate student researcher with a focus on secure data systems, currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz. My research in the Storage Systems Lab has allowed me to delve into efficient secure data deletion, where I have contributed by writing extensions to the Zettabyte File System and porting kernel modules from Linux to FreeBSD.
In addition to my research, I have gained valuable teaching experience as a Course Instructor and Teacher's Assistant, where I have developed and delivered course content for over a hundred students. My role involved creating programming assignments, conducting lectures, and preparing the digital infrastructure necessary for grading. I am passionate about sharing knowledge and helping students grasp complex programming concepts, particularly in C and systems programming.
