University of California, Irvine
B.S. , Computer Engineering , 2005 — 2009
Senior design project focuses on building a Wii-mote controlled multistage electromagnetic projectile launcher (aka a coil gun) that can eventually be developed into an automated sentry gun with an implementation of visual tracking.
Senior ethics paper topic is titled "Internet Wars" that explains how future wars could be coordinated not only with real weapons, but also a simultaneous cyber attack. The paper reveals the current vulnerabilities of corporate web applications, mission critical root DNS servers and the BGP. The paper analyzes how current solutions are deteriorated, and by the time we update the system, it would probably be too late.- Activities and Societies:
