My journey into technical research began in the early years of my first undergraduate degree in Computer Science (CS) at ODU, where I studied computational techniques with renowned professors such as Dr. Jain (ODU), Dr. Ranjan (ODU), and Dr. Prasanna (Stoneybrook). Thanks to the NIH and my efforts, I was awarded a fellowship in the M-MARC U*STAR program hosted at ODU, where I conducted rotational research in funded labs. Here, I was exposed to the vast world of computing and focused on biomedical sciences, studying data from gazing, workouts, and even genetic makeup. 

​

Shortly after, I contributed to multiple technical papers, presented my research at several conferences, received a few awards, and earned the referrals from my mentors. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) later recognized my abilities and offered me a technical internship position. Here, my mentor, Vincent E. Houston, and I built a data processing pipeline that would drive the development of autonomous air traffic maintenance and protect lives in aviation. Since then, I began seeking ways to secure technical tools like these from cyber attacks, which led me to my current path in Cybersecurity.
