Columbia
Studied Computer Science with a minor in Math. TA'd and did research.
During my time at Columbia, I mainly focused on AI and Cryptography as my areas of interest. These are areas I have since pursued professionally.
I was a teacher’s assistant for Fundamentals of Computer Systems for 2 semesters. During this time, I led study groups for the students, and answered any questions they had about the coursework. This was a great way to keep the contents of the class fresh beyond simply the class itself.
In the later part of my time at Columbia, I was a research assistant in the field of networking. I worked on a number of projects, including working closely with the team at Project OWL on a cheap, disposable radio transmitter.
In addition to my work in research, I spent 2 years as an Education Ambassador with the Columbia Blockchain club, during which time I co-led and taught an 8 week course about the fundamentals of Blockchain technology. We had a number of guest speakers, and I personally wrote and presented a number of lectures in the series. I also helped plan the first LedgerFest with the club, which has since turned into an annual event.
