What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that combines teaching and research in Computer Science.

I am an experienced Mathematician and Computer Scientist currently pursuing my DPhil in Computer Science at United States University. My research focuses on the foundations of quantum and post-quantum cryptography, particularly the existence of one-way functions based on the hardness of meta-complexity problems. I am passionate about teaching and research, aiming to become a professor in the field.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience as an Adjunct Faculty member and a Web Development Teaching Assistant, where I helped students learn web development using a Ruby on Rails stack. My background as a Software Engineer has equipped me with skills in React, React Native, and various programming languages, allowing me to develop user experience features across services. I also have experience in Cyber Security Research and Development, focusing on applied cryptography and secure multi-party computation.
