Welcome to my website!

I am a graduate student in my 5th year. My research interests are (the foundations of) Computer Security, Information Assurance, and Cryptographic Protocols.
My advisor is Andre Scedrov.

=================================================================================================================================================

Teaching:

Spring 2008 : Math 114 - Calculus II (Sections 211, 212, 213, 214) taught by Ed Crotty (ecrotty [at] math [dot] upenn [dot] edu)

Recitations:
Section 211: T 8:30AM - 9:20AM
Section 212: T 9:30AM - 10:20AM
Section 213: R 8:30AM - 9:20AM
Section 214: R 9:30AM - 10:20AM

All recitations are in DRL 3C6.

There will be weekly quizzes! The problems will be close to the homework problems that should be posted on blackboard (see the assignments tab).

Most of the relevant course information can be found on the course website -- it also contains links to the Math Help Centers, the Math Tutoring Center and a list of private tutors approved by the Math Department.

My office hours are currently scheduled for Tuesdays and Wednesdays 1:30-2:30PM in DRL 4C19 and by appointment (the office hours may change if they are inconvenient for too many students).

Before coming to the University of Pennsylvania I studied Mathematics at the University of Essen, Germany. My advisor there was Henning Stichtenoth and the title of my Diplomarbeit (M.A. thesis) was Geometrische Goppa-Codes und verallgemeinerte Produktcodes (Geometric Goppa Codes and Generalized Product Codes) [.pdf (in German)].
