2015

My early 2015 update:
I am currently in the nuclear navy pipeline.
I'll probably be able to start a grad school degree within the next few years but we will see.

Exciting times. It is super daunting but exciting at the same time.

2014 update

Post graduation:

Declined graduate school offers to follow military path.

Continued to tutor and help other in math and physics.

Officially accepted into NUPOC program.

I head to OCS in July.

An exciting year ahead!

Best,

Rebecca

Undergraduate Graduation

On the year of our lord two thousand and thirteen, I crossed the stage to accept my diploma from Wesleyan College.

Bachelors of Arts
Applied Mathematical Sciences
Minor in Physics


Future Aspirations: Navy Nuclear? Engineering?

Accepted into 2/3 grad schools!

First Conference Poster!

January 18, 2013

Headed to UCF in Orlarndo for the Southeast Conference of Undergraduate Women in Physics to present our poster on Network Security!!
 Wish me luck!

Fall 2012 Update

Update Fall:

So far this semester, a group of students from my school and I attended Purdue's Grad School Expo in October!
Beyond this, it has just been researching Grad Schools, GRE studying, and going through the application process.

I have a preliminary list of Grad Schools I am considering but I don't have a narrowed down list yet.

I am planning presenting next semester at a Women in Physics conference in Orlando.

Brief Update: Week 4

Brief Update: July 17 In the past few days, Mahdi has been lecturing and informing us on the Hierarchical  Node ID Distribution process and chunk factors. Also, he informed us that Persea  has a way of not only testing the system against  Insertion attacks and back pointer attacks but also of using a silent or  active attacker.    Thus far we have been simulating with an active attacker but now we will test with a silent attacker as well(my simulations).    An active attacker will return an incorrect result where as a silent attacker will just  ignore the query or drop the request.    With a silent attacker, no incorrect result is returned so the look up request still has  a chance of a correct result being returned as well as the DHTs of the source remaining  uncorrupted. Thus we can see that usually the active attacker is a more malicious  threat, but also that it is harder to accomplish and requires more control/bandwidth.    Our prediction of the silent attacker simulations is that the probability of a successful  result will not be influenced by the number of silent attackers. This prediction has thus  far been correct with only one data point/simulation left to finish.
