About me

I'm an undergraduate student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. While I'm interested in a lot of different things, I'm most passionately interested in cryptography, complexity theory and theoretical computer science in general. I'm also interested in pure mathematics, especially algebra and number theory. In addition, I have a strong interest in robotics and the extremely difficult problems faced by the machine learning and computer vision communities.
