I built the LIDAR (Laser Ranger) mapping software framework for Stanford s winning

entry to the DARPA Grand Challenge 2005. LIDAR was the primary robot sensor. The

DARPA Grand Challenge was a robotic competition whose goal was to have an SUV

autonomously traverse up to 175 miles of off-road terrain at speeds of up to 35 mph.

Anthony Tether, the director of DARPA said that these vehicles haven't just achieved

world records, they have made history . Only 5 robots out of 23 finished the race.

Stanford won.

of Language and Information .

Work

(continued) 2004 - 2005 Research Assistant, Stanford Computer Security

My task was to analyze the latest key exchange algorithms, including IKEv2, through

the chord spaces formalism. The problems I studied included the parallel and serial

composition of multiple versions of key exchange protocol primitives that sit at the base

of IPSEC.
