Education
Arizona State University (2021-2022) – MS in Computer Science with Distinction
Colby College (2015-2019) – BA in Mathematics with Honors
Papers
Basis Reduction in Lattice Cryptography [PDF] (2019) – Undergraduate honors thesis at Colby College – We develop an understanding of lattices and their use in cryptography. We examine how basis reduction algorithms, particularly the LLL Algorithm, can reduce lattice bases to yield solutions to the Shortest Vector Problem and the Closest Vector Problem.
