A bit about me:
I graduated from UC Berkeley in May 2006.
I am a third year graduate student at UCLA.
My research interests are in Algebraic Number Theory, cryptography and Algebra. For the past summers, I have done research in algebraic coding theory- in particular, I have looked at nonbinary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. I have also worked on image processing techniques and computational neuroscience. I have worked at HRL Labs, NASA JPL, and MIT Lincoln Laboratory.
