Rich Internship Math Presentation
Oct. 2, 2019
Tuesday, October 10th, 12:45-1:45 in NAC 6/310 Rich Summer
Internship participants, Abdullah Khan and Ryan Olsen, will be
giving presentations on their work in two exciting fields!
Abdullah Khan
My work with Professor Medvedev involved studying specific parts of
a Theorem by Hrushovski in a paper by Hirotaka Kikyo “On Generic
Predicates and Automorphisms” in logic. My goal over the summer was
to learn the necessary abstract algebra to parse this theorem and
understand it. My final report consists of the preliminary
mathematics needed to do this and an exposition of the theorem by
Hrushovski from the perspective of an introductory student of
mathematics.
Ryan Olsen
A theoretical cryptographic scheme based upon sending a string of
bits, 0 and 1. This protocol circumvents the computational hardness
assumptions found in most cryptosystems used today, although with a
slight loss in accuracy. Its implementation and further
improvements will be discussed.
There will be pizza and refreshments!
