I have always enjoyed doing summer internships since they have given me the opportunity to work on new exciting questions in a different environment collaborating with many very smart and inspiring people with whom I have established valuable professional connections. Throughout my graduate and undergraduate studies I have participated in the following programs:

Internship in the Security Group, Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, Jun-Sept 2011

I workded with Bryan Parno on protocols for verifiable computation on outsourced data. We studied relationships between verifiable computation and other cryptographic primitives.

Internship in the XCG Cryptography Group, Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, Jun-Aug 2010

I worked with Seny Kamara on protocols for outsourced computation tailored for highly parallelized computation environments such as MapReduce.

Internship in the Cryptography Group, Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, Jun-Aug 2009

I worked with Seny Kamara on efficient protocols for outsourced computation tailored in presence of non-colluding adversaries.

Internship in the Applied Research Group , Telcordia Technologies (former Bellcore), Piscataway, NJ, Jun-Aug 2008

I worked in policy team of ZODIAC project developing new model for communication over mobile ad-hoc networks with strict network security requirements. I was contributing to policy definitions, design and implementation of the policy system, performed security analysis.

Internship in the Security Group, Google Inc. Mountain View, CA, Jun-Aug 2007

I contributed to the extension and implementation of security protocols for server authentication aiming at good efficiency and parallel execution.

Undergraduate research in the program Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), director: Joseph Gallian, University of Minnesota, Duluth, MN, Jun-Aug 2005

I worked on research in discrete mathmatics, specifically on the problem of permutation reconstruction from its minors.

Internship in the Discrete Simulation Sciences Group (CCS-5), Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, Jun-Aug 2004

I participated in the development of mathematical models for simulation and the generation of large amount of simulation data with statistics corresponding to real survey data.

Undergraduate research in the program Research in Industrial Projects for Undergraduates (RIPS), UCLA, Los Angeles, CA, Jun-Aug 2003

I worked in a team of four people who developed and implemented algorithms for improving quality of images from film scanners in the project of Image Correction given by Los Alamos National Laboratory.
